FTC: I received a free copy of this book from iRead in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Folly At The Fair by Kari Bovee was an interesting book but not one of my favorites. I had a tough time getting interested in this book. I found that I would put it down and then force myself to pick it up again. I am not sure why I had such a hard time with this book. The one thing I can tell you is that I hated Frank right from the start, and my thoughts didn’t change by the time that I finished the book. I didn’t find that this book was super suspenseful, but I did enjoy the mystery parts of this book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to you if swearing in books bothers you. It doesn’t bother me, but it might be bothersome, so I wanted to make people aware of that. I did like that this book was about a person that I have heard so much about. I know that the things that happened in this book didn’t happen but I loved that the main character was someone that I had heard of. If you are a fan of historical fiction books I would give this book a shot.

She never misses a target. But unless she can solve this murder, she’ll become one… Chicago World’s Fair, 1893. “Little Sure Shot” Annie Oakley is exhausted from her work with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. But when a fellow performer scuffles with a man who threatens her harm, she has to keep her eyes peeled. And when the heckler is found dead under the Ferris Wheel, Annie won’t rest until she proves her defender is innocent. Before she can rustle up any clues, an old friend asks Annie to protect her young daughter. And as more bodies turn up around the grounds, she’s going to need all her sharpshooting skills just to stay alive. Can Annie live up to her reputation and put a bullseye on the killer?

If you like strong heroines, Wild West adventures, and suspenseful twists and turns, then you’ll love Kari Bovee’s fast-paced whodunit.
