Description
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. With few leads, a troupe full of secretive folk, and strange paranormal occurrences popping up around the circus, solving the case seems near impossible. But the murderer in their midst may be the least of their problems...
"Humorous and heartfelt, creepy and captivating; readers will eagerly hope for another volume." - Kirkus

The way the 'freak show' is portrayed feels massively ableist - and yes, that is historically correct, but letting disabled readers run into that unprepared is NOT the way to go. Not to mention that among the performers one could have tuned down the ableism. Also ... I have no idea where this will be going. It's a completely open ending, but also ... it feels like there will be too many plots to follow. Like ... this started as a murder plot, but then too much was added to really get what the comics will be about in the end. For people that really like serials, that might be a good thing. But for me, preferring standalones or series of standalones in the same world, this is a bit of a turn off.
