"Liv, this is Celebration Bay. Anything can happen."
These words spoken by her assistant/gossip guru Ted Driscoll are ones event coordinator Liv Montgomery takes to heart, although after leaving her high-pressure but prestigious job as a Manhattan party planner, Liv never expected that the seemingly placid Celebration Bay would immerse her in multiple murders and unexpected disasters. Having successfully navigated her way through a previous murder investigation and successfully completing several autumn festivals Liv assumed that December's Christmas events would go more smoothly.
Foul Play at the Fair is the first installment in author Shelley Freydont's Celebration Bay Mystery series and introduces readers to Liv Montgomery, a former Manhattan event planner burnt out on demanding brides and sweet sixteeners who has been hired by the small Upstate New York town of Celebration Bay to organize promotional tourist events.
