Description

The police cannot decide if the clown sightings reported around Grambling pose a threat or are just a hoax. That is, until a young homeless boy is lured away from his parents in the dead of night. Malachi has been dreaming of the little boy he could not save in Afghanistan. He is pulled between the deep need to drink and drown his past and his desire to try and help save the little boy who was snatched from Tent City, under his nose. Then a man dressed in a clown's outfit is found bludgeoned to death. Brangian reports and watches in horror as the crime is connected to her property and members of her own family are once again suspects. Can Branigan and Malachi help to bring the truth to light before the little boy is harmed, and before the wrong person is convicted of murder...

I loved this book. You could tell it was part of a series by mentions of past cases, but I think that this novel could stand alone. I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I loved the characters, and the author kept me guessing until the very last chapter. Malachi was my favorite character. I would put this in the category of cozy mysteries (My favorite kind) and plan on reading the two past books as well as following the series. If you like M.C. Beaton and Agatha Christie, you will like this series.

Was a good book but took me a while to get into. I think there was too many character swaps for me personally and thought that there was too many different plot lines for me to fully appreciate the book. The ending was done well and really kept me wondering what was happening. I do wish I had read the previous books in this series however to get a better understanding.
