Pragmatic engineer Anna works as a psychic in the Samson Brothers Circus, but she doesn't believe in anything supernatural... until her twin sister Kat is murdered and comes back as a very demanding ghost. Sharing a room with her sister was hard, but now they're sharing a body while trying to identify the killer. But how can you solve a mystery when everyone around has their own shady secrets?

This story didn’t really grab me.

I'm hooked!

Interesting setting and cast of characters. I've read one of Megan's comics in the past and am excited to start a new tale.

2.5 stars - I picked this up on a whim because I love me some circus vibes, and this gives us an old-timey travelling circus with two sisters, one a knife-thrower and the other a physic, but with a weird affinity to try and make it science with a machine that doesn't fit at all. One sister is murdered and the other has to solve it - but something happens with the circus that is distracting and no storylines are really hashed out.
