"Everybody loves when a circus comes to town ... but nobody expects it to bring murder with it. You can rest assured that the Quilters Club - that tiny quilting bee comprised of Maddy Madison and her three BFFs - can solve it. But I promise they will keep you guessing."

-Hollis George, noted editor and anthologist

The little Indiana town of Caruthers Corners stages a Crazy Carnival, with a big top and acrobats and even an elephant, but things go awry when Barffy the Red-Nosed Clown drops dead in the center ring. Can Maddy Madison and her fellow members of the Quilters Club - Lizzie, Cookie, and Bootsie - solve this puzzling death? Is the murderer a clown with green hair? Or a suspicious Ferris wheel operator? Or a "Lost Boy" with a grudge? Or a sideshow performer with three eyes? Leave it to the Quilters Club to deliver another satisfying cozy mystery.
