Spy/detective pals Sophie, Grace, and Trista (The Wig in the Window) sleuth again when a dead body shows up on a parade float for the town's annual extravaganza. The three become pages in the parade Royal Court to hunt for clues. The mystery is well constructed, with numerous red herrings and confounding twists, but the engaging friendship story is even more compelling.
