Synopsis:

The circus is in town and Mel decides it’s the perfect place to take Jackie for her birthday… until one of the acrobats turns up dead.

Soon Mel finds destruction following her everywhere she goes as she sets out to prove that the woman dies not because of an unfortunate accident, but because it was murder.

Will she discover the truth before she suffers the same fate?

My rating: ★★★★☆
The Mellow Summer series quickly became one of my favorites, and this was another great installment to the series! It is just so much fun! Especially with the intro of our ghost and murder victim, a super accident-prone circus performer! It was the funniest thing ever! I loved her!

All the characters in this series are great, actually! Mel and Jackie, Detective Shorts... all of them! Well, most of them. There is one character in particular I could not stand: Tammy.

We met her in a previous book, but I don’t actually remember which one or how far back we met her, so I don’t know whether I thought she was this annoying or not. But ugh!

I know Jackie and I are not always very welcoming around Tammy; her personality is a bit much to handle, but the deflated look on her face tugged at my conscience. -Mel

Mel was definitely more tolerable of Tammy than I or even Jackie were! I could not stand her! She was so incredibly annoying! I sometimes wondered to myself what the hell was wrong with her, because some of the things she did, just-

But overall, I really enjoyed the read! As always, this book had a very intriguing mystery, which surrounded the klutzy circus performer who brought hilarious chaos wherever she went. And of course, I loved all the regular characters. Plus, this series is such a quick read, so that’s pretty great! I highly recommend you check out this series if you love a good mystery!
