Sleepyside’s annual Memorial Day parade is interrupted when a fire starts a few blocks away from Main Street. When Trixie’s friend’s father is accused of burning down his own store, Trixie knows she must solve the crime.

This is the first of the rarer final five in the series. Some fans really dislike them, and I do see their point. The characters are weaker than in earlier books. And, at least in this one, Trixie has to have the solution to the mystery pointed out to her – a solution I found obvious the first time I read it in high school. And yet, I must confess I still find the book fun. Definitely not top of the list, but a fun, quick visit with old friends.
