About this listen
Meet the girls of Portman's Creameries as they tackle one of their biggest cases. Join Irene, Chrissie, Pippa, Becca, Mary Beth, Stacey and Winky as they step into the Black Paradise Circus and the strange mystery ahead.
After one of the kidnapped children is found gruesomely murdered, the stakes go up and everyone realizes they are running short on time. Irene refuses to come out of her room as she deals with demons from her past. Secrets are dug up from the circus grounds which makes the girls realize how close they are to the circus itself. Who are these people? What are they hiding? Things continue to get harder as they work to keep the circus on their side while trying to solve the case.
All the same, the main problem remains; the children are missing. Will the girls be able to find them before it's too late?

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,752
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

The Ladies from the Creamery are at it again..
Any additional comments?
This story reminded me a lot of The Sugar Mountain Murders: Portman's Creamery Mysteries.
The Ladies from the creamery investigate the disappearance of children from the circus as well as a murder.
Zachary Liebenstein did ok with the narration.

Poor narration choice for the cast of characters..
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook for free in return for my honest review....such a shame, the description of the book sounded so good, but the one narrator (male) trying to do different voices for several different characters (all females) was very distracting. Some of the voices were so "fake" that I couldn't concentrate on the actual plot for very long. I could not finish the first hour unfortunately.

A Pile of Bones: Black Paradise Circus, Book 2
“This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.”
I finished this book yesterday, and it has taken me until now to realize I really didn't get into this book. The girls from the creamery are investigating the disappearance of children from the circus. Then body turns up, murdered in the most gruesome way. Will they solve the crimes before more children are murdered?
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.

Hard to read
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.
I liked the idea of the book. I liked the direction it was trying to go in and the plot of the story was interesting. However, the writing style was very hard to get past. It was very long winded and it had trouble keeping my attention. Had this story been written differently, I probably would have really liked it. There was a lot of attention to detail, and the characters were already well developed which was good, and made for great imagery, but also took away from a lot of the action, for lack of a better word. Attention to detail is good, but there is such a thing as too much. It got monotonous. The characters weren't terribly unique or lovable either. Overall, I would say this book is alright, but I wouldn't go around recommending it to people. It feels as though this book was a rough draft of something much better.

Creepy in a good way
This series has become much more interesting. In the first book I had difficulty taking the characters seriously. It was like they were caricatures of themselves. In this book I was able to listen more to the story than the characters which helped. The narrator is very talented - I love his speaking voice - but some of his female characters were so annoying and cartoonish I had to transcend his voice and pretend I was reading it myself. This book is much more serious than I gave it credit for in the first book.
I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Great story
I really liked the story line , I liked the fact that the book was not real long. the long books seem to just ramble on about the same stuff over and over very boring after a while. I thought it was the snake lady you will have to read it to find out. I received this book free from the narrator and or narrator for a honest review and unbiased option via audio book boom
