Review :
"Bailey's writing radiates compassion ... though she never lets her warm humanity come at the expense of danger and surprise." - BookLife Review "As in the other books, I loved the cast of characters in this one. The whole series is fantastic, and Author Kathleen Bailey does a wonderful job of keeping her stories and characters consistent. I recommend the Olivia Penn mystery series to anyone who loves a clean, small-town mystery with likable characters." -- Los Angeles Book Review "The mystery was nicely staged to keep me immersed in all that was happening as I watched this drama unfold through the visually descriptive narrative and its engaging dialogue. The author knows how to pull out the stops with a few red herrings that kept me in the game and when the pivotal action came, all was right with the residents of Apple Station and justice was served. Overall, this is a delightfully charming read." - Dru's Book Musings "This is exactly the kind of cozy mystery I like - a page-turning mystery brimming with cozy details AND suspects, clues and red-herrings. The addition of two adorable pets (dog and cat) are a wonderful bonus. The mystery is well plotted and Olivia is such a wonderful main character-very real. I'd love so much to visit with her and tour her cozy town." - Sarah Can't Stop Reading, A Five-Star Read "Olivia is a very likable character. The author adeptly builds tension for the audience when Olivia is placed in peril and leads us through clues and red herons to the reveal of the whodunit. When the Carnival Came is a fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat, entertaining read for lovers of the cozy mystery genre." - Novels Alive I really like Olivia as a detective - she's very smart. The carnival details were indeed fascinating; this novel gives a glimpse of everyday life in a small traveling carnival. I recommend When the Carnival Came for cozy mystery fans who want to read an exciting mystery and who are interested in small town settings and a carnival atmosphere." - View from the Birdhouse Olivia is, as always, a delightful protagonist and savvy amateur sleuth, and she's also a great daughter & a great friend. The skillfully-plotted mystery, the dashes of more danger & suspense, and the clever whodunit reveals keep me invested and engaged. What gives this series so much heart is Olivia herself and her friendships. The mystery in this book is layered and well-plotted. I also loved the continued romantic progress with swoony Preston, Olivia's interactions with her dad and her longtime close friends, and the author's engaging writing voice. The last few paragraphs are particularly beautiful." - Reading is My Superpower
