Roll up, roll up . . .
1925, Perthshire: The Cookes' family circus sets up in the grounds of Benachally Castle, attracting interest from far and wide, including that of society lady - and sometimes detective - Dandy Gilver.
But when a member of the troupe is found dead, Dandy must abandon the fun of the fair and get to work.
Because there are dark secrets lying beneath the charms of circus life; secrets that reach beyond the high wire, curl out of the big top, and whisper from the windows of the castle itself . . .
A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in the secretive world of the travelling circus, with twists and turns aplenty. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
