Good book
This is such a funny, light, short story. Lot's of kooky characters and one big golden retriever. What else do you need for an easy read!

A circus is a perfect place...
OMG, a circus is the perfect environment for some of our zany favorites from Tucson Valley!!! This story has it all, and I was laughing out loud so many times my family thought I had lost my mind. I'm disappointed though because I binged read all of them and now I have to wait almost 5 months for another to come out. I definitely recommend this series, and you've gotta read them in order to appreciate them.

Super fun read when part of the gang heads up to the Valley for Circus Security!
Make sure to pay attention to the names of the elephants!
And, a quick reference to The Office as well!

What about the elephants ⁉️⁉️
The plot and characters were great! My only
complaint is that I thought for sure that the
author would have ended the story with the two elephants, Bea and Arthur, would have gotten a happy ending, too, by getting to spend the rest of their life at the elephant's sanctuary. That made me sad that they didn't get their happy rest of their lives at the elephant sanctuary.

"Dying Under the Big Top (Clowning Around) (Tuscon Valley Retirement Community Cozy Mystery #7)" by Marcy Blesy has Rosi and some of the gang visiting a neighboring retirement community to help with a big circus weekend. Things don't quite go as planned and Rosie ends up doing more than she thought she would need to. Plus, it's her, there's going to be something going on mystery wise.

I liked this cozy mystery story about the circus coming to Sunshine Hope Senior Community because of the humor, better descriptions of what was happening in the story, and better suspects and motives. Safia became my favorite character with her cheery disposition, scandalous life stories, and her spunkiness. It added to the humor of the story.

Great
I love this series by Marcy, I finally found a series about folks my age. This time Rosi, Keaton, officer Dan, Caliope and Safira take the show on the road to Scottsdale from Tucson and manage to find trouble but they solve it as well. Can't wait to continue the series and I highly recommend.

This was a fun installment in the series. Circus is definitely not something I would have expected but I gotta say, it was pulled off well. I just love Rosi and Keats relationship and I hope they truly get to keep enjoying their love.
