Air Apparent

Air Apparent is book 17 in the Gift Shop Mysteries series.

Sarah Morgan never imagined spending part of her summer attending aerial gymnastics classes. But when her sister is injured, she doesn't hesitate to take Laura's place in the mother-daughter camp alongside her niece. Sarah befriends camp director Rayna Ripaldi, whose family once dazzled audiences as famous trapeze artists in the 1920s.

When an opportunity presents itself to advance her career, Rayna decides to go for it. But competition for the role is fierce, and a string of strange mishaps begins to threaten both Rayna's reputation and her beloved school. To make matters worse, a stash of cash missing since a 1932 circus fire reappears inside old equipment, Sarah realizes the sabotage may be tied to a long-buried scandal. Can Sarah solve the mysteries--past and present--and clear the Ripaldi family name?
