No one in Sinful Waters liked Pansy Arsenault, but who did she annoy so much that he dared to kill? Aspiring actress Pansy Arsenault returns to Sinking Waters for a beauty pageant in conjunction with the Summer Festival. And the mercenary Fortuna Redding understands: this is rubbish. According to legend, she is a former beauty queen and an ideal candidate for the role of presenter along with Pansy, however, due to the latter’s vile character, it is impossible to even conduct a rehearsal in peace. So when Pansy is found dead, Fortuna is the prime suspect. Now, with only common sense and two treacherous old women on her side, locally called the “Valocordin Mafia,” she is forced to begin her own investigation before the whole cover goes to waste.
