Ella quickly raises the hackles of the Dumble Dwarves, the Flying Flynns, and even the peace-loving centaur Flora. So when Ella's pet iguana turns up dead, it's assumed the murder was an act of revenge.
Eager to try his claws at investigating again, Duncan, self-appointed detecting dragon, is on the case faster than you can say 'omelet'.
Trouble is, everyone has an alibi. Everyone, that is, except Ella's ex-boyfriend, who seems to have the perfect motive…a broken heart. And it isn't long after he arrives that the body count climbs and Duncan finds himself with more clues than he can handle.
In this second book of the humorous cozy fantasy series that combines mythical beasts with murderous mayhem, tempers are sizzling, the clues are confounding, and the twists have nothing do with the Flying Flynns' trapeze act.

Tipping the Scales is the second book in the Circus of Unusual Creatures Mysteries where “laughs will be heard.” Other books include Hoard It All Before, Fangs a Million, Too Claws for Comfort, and The Scales of Justice. The books can be read in order or as stanndalone stories.
Set in a 1930s that’s just a tad different than what you’re used to, The Circus of Unusual Creatures is a delightfully humorous cozy mystery series that features a detecting dragon, an aura-spotting centaur, a chain-smoking unicorn, and plenty of other quirky characters getting into all kinds of trouble as they stumble their way through clues, crimes, and perfectly cooked omelets.
Story Note: While this laugh-out-loud fantasy mystery is mostly clean, it does have a lusty, chain-smoking unicorn who utters a few innuendos, a dragon who drinks, a tiny bit of mild swearing, and (obviously) there’s a murder or two along the way.
