Royals and Ruses — S. Usher Evans

The Annual Pigsend Harvest Festival has arrived once again, and this year's may prove to be more exciting than last. Rumor has it Queen Meandra herself will be coming to oversee the festivities, a fact that has both confused and excited the rural citizens. Bev's got her hands full, both tending to the out of town guests at the Weary Dragon, and also helping Ida Witzel with the festivities. But when Sheriff Rustin doesn't show up for work, and more Pigsend citizens go missing, Bev's on the case once again. Can she figure out who or what's snatching the citizens of Pigsend before the entire town disappears—or there's no one left to help with the Harvest Festival when the queen finally arrives? Royals and Ruses is the final book in the Weary Dragon Inn series.
