Send in the Clowns by Julie MulhernMy rating: 4 of 5 stars, I really liked it.
Book 4 in the series.
Ellison and co. are back. After going to a haunted house with friends, Ellison's daughter Grace misses curfew. Ellison sets off to find her, but finds two scary clowns instead. One's covered in blood and dies right in front of her, after calling her name! The other is holding a knife. When Ellison comes back with help, they've both disappeared.
Now Ellison is faced with several protective men, a killer clown and a missing murder victim.
Having lived in Kansas during my teen years (80s though, not the the 70s), I have a pretty good idea what area of KC these are set in, so that's a huge plus for me. I love mysteries set in real places.
Ellison is a nice strong female character and I really enjoy the humor in this series. My only peeve about this series so far is the terrible love triangle trope as two men vie for Ellison's attention. I'm heartily sick of this plot device in everything!
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
