All Jessie Morton wanted to do was get even with Wanda Le Fey for gluing her gown to her chair at the Lady of the Lake Tavern.  It took some time to come up with the right prank.  So where was Wanda? Why was she not screaming her head off?  After all it is not every day that taking a shower turns you the color of a Smurf! Jesse could not just leave it alone so she went to Wanda's abode and found her half in the shower with a large gash in her chest.  Yes - Wanda was blue and very dead.Detective Almond doesn't have enough evidence to lock Jesse up.........yet.  It doesn't mean he won't keep looking.  Good thing most people didn't like Wanda so Jesse will have plenty of suspects to check out.  Jesse has a side kick for this investigation - the ghost of Wanda Le Fey. She is even nastier in death!  So Jesse better be careful or she could end up wearing orange to her wedding...or even worse - Wanda could be an uninvited guest.Things to ponder:  Where is Shakespeare? Who was Wanda dating?  Who put Wanda's bracelet in the museum to frame Jesse?This novella whets your appetite for the next book in the Renaissance Faire Mystery series - Murderous Matrimony, coming in November 2013. This is a quick fun read.  It will keep you turning the pages so you can find out whodunit.  The story is well plotted and will keep you intrigued with quirky characters and red herrings galore.  Well, Joyce and Jim have done it again - they never disappoint.  So if you like your mystery with the fun of a Renaissance Faire, then you should be reading Perilous Pranks.FTC Full Disclosure - A copy of this book was sent to me by the author in hopes I would review it.
