The Ghost Parade
217 pages · First published 1933
A procession of apparently ghostly figures turns an ordinary setting into the center of one of Judy Bolton’s eerier investigations. Rather than accepting a supernatural explanation, Judy follows practical clues involving who could stage the appearances and why anyone would want to frighten observers away. The mystery links local history and present motives as the parade becomes increasingly dangerous to investigate. Margaret Sutton uses spooky spectacle, community secrets, and Judy’s skepticism to create a mystery where ghosts are less important than the living people hiding behind them.
