Quirky Sleuths. Big Murders. Very Bad Alibis. Tessa Bellamy can survive divorced parents, collapsing balloon arches, sugar-fueled children, and a magician with a temperament problem. Murder is new. When The Marvelous Magnus drops dead inside a giant trick present at a luxury birthday party, Heron Cove's wealthiest parents want the mess handled quietly. Tessa wants the children to stop crying, the cake to remain upright, and everyone to stop lying in front of the balloon wall. But the kids keep saying Magnus "did the wrong bunny," and Tessa realizes their garbled party chatter may be the only honest timeline in the room.
