About this listen

Clues, Chaos, and Catastrophe Under the Big Top!

London, 1899: The circus is in town, but danger is in the spotlight. When a clown is found dangling lifeless from the high wire at the Olympia Amphitheater, Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James are called in to investigate. With rivalries, roaring egos, and deadly secrets lurking behind the curtain, the Baker Street team must act fast to stop the next act from ending in tragedy.

To infiltrate the tight-knit world of acrobats, fire-eaters, and animal tamers, Lucy and Jack go undercover as magicians, with the ever-curious Becky as their pint-sized assistant. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the mystery becomes—suspects juggle alibis, secrets tangle like trapeze ropes, and an old adversary reappears, turning the case into a deadly balancing act.

As the final curtain looms, can Sherlock and Lucy uncover the truth in time, or will the circus’s next performance be their last?
