Death of a Scarecrow

When murder strikes at a village fete, even the crows are asking, who wanted the scarecrow dead?

The sun is shining, the bunting is fluttering, and the village of Staunton is alive with the excitement of its annual fete and scarecrow festival. But amid the laughter and merriment, darkness lurks. Before the first morning is done, a woman, dressed as a scarecrow, is found dead in an isolated spot on the edge of the village.
