I'm not even sure what to rate this. Here's the thing- I loved the story, the murders the mystery.. for once I had no idea who the murderer could be. BUT. THERE WAS AN ENTIRELY UNNEEDED

Spoiler

LOVE TRIANGLE. That freaking love triangle ruined this for me. The ringmaster himself was a good character and interesting but the fact that Audrey actually got confused and entertained the notion of this guy as a serious romantic interest? BULL. It ruined my enjoyment. I'm sorry I just am so mad about it. At least it ended as it should but gah

So yeah, not sure what to rate it. 3.5 stars probably but giving it 3 on here because it doesn't deserve the same star number as SJTR.
