   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  James_Patrick_Joyce | Oct 24, 2020 |  Circus! How we all loved them as children (and as adults-I think), but this one gets a bit out of hand when Emmett Kelly calls Toby for help with the weird and death-type dangers plaguing the circus and Emmett Kelly himself. With assistance from the usual suspects, Shelly Minck, the odd-ball Dentist; Jeremy Butler, the wrestler-turned-poet, and Gunther Werthman, who spent his early days as a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz, and with Toby, disguised as a clown, make things right (with a little helping hand from Alfred Hitchcock who makes a most interesting witness). Join the fun! It just about the best jaunt through a Circus you'll ever experience! (  ) SmithfieldJones | Sep 14, 2020 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

A circus stakeout puts Toby Peters at the bottom of the food chain.... The gorilla doesn't like clowns. Normally that wouldn't bother Toby Peters, since detective work tends to keep him far away from animal cages, but tonight he's dressed as a clown and locked in with the ape. The animal's handler told him not to worry - gorillas don't eat people. They just like to tear their arms and legs off. What the ape doesn't understand is that Peters is here for his protection. Earlier that week, someone electrocuted an elephant, and the gorilla, as one of the star attractions in this second-rate circus, is next on the hit list. Someone is killing animals to kill the circus, and if that doesn't work they may move on to human prey. Toby Peters has a shot at unraveling this big top mystery, as long as he survives his night in the gorilla's cage. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Marking a return to Mirador with its thin-skinned and small-minded sheriff, hulking deputy, and lack of future.
The Big Top. Clowns and high-wire acts. Lions, and tigers and gorillas, oh my! Elephanticide, homicide, attempted vehicular murders and a few not-so-romantic beach encounters. And Toby as a grease-painted clown act. Plus Alfred Hitchcock, collecting background for a planned scene in an upcoming movie, and Emmett Kelly (of the famous "Weary Willie" the clown act) as Toby's client.
Admittedly, not my favourite Toby Peters mystery, but it will definitely be a popular one with fans of the circus. (
