Genre: Mystery
Grade: C+
Reason for reading: review for MyShelf
Blurb (from back cover): "Abby has been dating Marco-ex-cop, bartender, and all-around hunk-for several months when the Pickle Fest starts. But he's still a mystery to her. And after he disappears for a day, she's stunned to read in the paper: Ex-cop Questioned in Man's Death. It seems the authorities have found Snuggles the Clown pushing up water-spurting daisies-and Marco was the last person seen leaving Snuggle's house. Abby knows in her bones that he's innocent. But why, when his life is on the line, is Marco being so secretive with her? And who is the attractive woman he escorted to the Pickle Fest? To do the legwork, she'll have to delve into the eerie clown underworld, where the smiles are fake and everyone has a trick up his sleeve..."
Opinion: Abby appears to be a young 20-year old something who's new to relationships. Getting past that slight immaturity, the mystery is a fun read. For a more complete review, check out MyShelf next year.
