“This gut-splitting mystery is a hilarious riff on an avante-garde production of ‘the Scottish play’...Combining humor and pathos can be risky in a whodunit, but gifted author Brown makes it work.” – Mystery Scene MagazineLike every actor, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But she’s finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of Macbeth in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm—not her flying cauldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director.

Cindy Brown’s first novel is a delicious romp with plenty of humor and suspense. Ivy (or is it Olive) is a fun heroine.” – Rhy... [Read More]
