Introducing museum curator and amateur sleuth Miss Evie Barnum in the first of a deliciously quirky new historical mystery series. Evie Barnum is in charge of her brother's museum, a place teeming with scientific specimens and "human prodigies" including a bearded woman and the lizard man. In this weird and whacky workplace, Evie hopes she can bury her secrets. But when an old friend shows up and begs for her help, she does all she can to stay away. The next time she sees him, he is dead in front of the exhibit of the Feejee Mermaid. Suspicion for the murder falls on Jeffrey, known as the Lizard Man, but Evie knows it isn't possible. When Jeffrey also goes missing, Evie becomes determined to solve the mystery of her friend's murder, even if it brings her face to face with her past...

The story was set in the USA with the American Museum and it's occupants playing a central role. An establishment set up to help women in need was also key to the story. Basically a Murder takes place and as the police did nothing Miss Barnum had to investigate to find the culprit. The majority of the book involved people travelling around meeting up and relationships. There was little to get the reader excited and sadly not much investigation.

The last movie I saw (where I ate #🍿). I'm not a circus fan, and I realize this glossed over a lot of things, but it's an upbeat film that will #chasethebluesaway (plus Hugh Jackman 😍😍😍). The tagged book is a #familyaffair, a mystery about P. T. Barnum' sister. And although the movie involves various love stories, I think Barnum's true #soulmate was show business. #thisremindsmeof #heartsandhardcovers #happinessisresistance #fiercefeb

Centique @Cinfhen took my 13yo to see this and she cried on the way home because it was OVER! 😳 She bought the soundtrack and I hear it on endless repeat. It‘s great to be a part of her first #musicalobsession though! 😊 7y
