Dixie is walking Mame, an older dashchund, when a car speeds by, Dixie thinks she knows the driver, when Mame finds a dead body of the man Dixie thought she saw, suddenly Dixie is in trouble and her life is on the line. The life of a clown off-stage is gone into here and we see how many of Dixies friends really care for her.

While there were real threats to her life, this is almost a cosy mystery, but not quite, a lot of the language and situations make it a little more adult. What's really the story here is Dixie's ongoing coming to terms with the death of her Husband and daughter and the repercussions, including her uncontrolable rages.

It's not bad but it just seemed to miss on several occasions with the story.
