Send in the Clowns is a book which I have had on my Kindle for quite a while and never really felt in the mood to tackle. This is set in the 70s, a time period I lived through, and that holds a certain appeal to me. It is part of the Country Club series of mysteries. This is a lighter humorous mystery with quirky characters and a very specific setting in time and place. Ellison Russell exemplifies that rarefied country club existence, yet manages to be likeable, friendly and even down to earth. The mystery is well done with enough suspects to choose from to keep the reader guessing. Enjoyable lighter mystery read.
