Annie falls in love. Complicated family histories are revealed and the murderer is a complete surprise. Meredith Blevins should stick to poetry. A lot of the narrative attempts to be super over-the-top poetic and it felt completely out of place in a novel - especially in dialogue between friends. I never got the sense that the characters cared about each other outside of the specific words they said, nor did I pick up on traits everyone talked about people having. (Our main character is referred to by everyone as brash and outspoken - including herself - but it really doesn't seem that way.) I had a hard time figuring out what was happening when and to whom. And the worst part was that I didn't really care who the murderer was. The story was loose and all over the place, and the end explanation seemed so unbelievable and a little out of nowhere. Not my favorite. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The indomitable Annie Szabo has lost too many friends and loved ones, so the death of neighbour Margo Spanger hits hard. Margo was a cultural icon with money and fame - maybe too much. When Margo's partner Lili goes missing the day of Margo's death, the New Age circus and women's shelter Margo had funded fall into disarray. Annie's world is also turning upside down: not only is her daughter a resident of the women's shelter, but Annie's mother-in-law, the Gypsy fortuneteller Madame Mina, decides to plant her trailer in Annie's yard, right next to Annie's pet giraffes. Aided by an ex-cop and Madame Mina's plant medicine, Annie uncovers Margo's past. She'd rattled the power elite, a trapeze flyer, one jealous lover, a captain of industry, a long-lost son, and an ice-blonde philanthropist. As Annie delves into their surprisingly tangled lives, one thing becomes clear-the killer is a master of disguises and time is running out. However, when Annie and Madame Mina stop arguing long enough to put their heads together, the truth can't hide. A treacherous tightrope to save a new lover, her home. and her life.
