Will Sarah fall victim to a deadly killer set on destroying her life? Or will she force herself to use her cop instincts to outsmart the riddles of a clown who turns laughter into screams?
While Conrad is away helping a friend in New York, Sarah and Amanda go see a circus that is visiting the small town of Snow Falls. Even though Sarah is sad because her attempts to become pregnant have yet to … because her attempts to become pregnant have yet to bear fruit, she decides to enjoy the circus show. After the show, Sarah and Amanda find a pie in Sarah’s jeep, and another one waiting at Sarah’s cabin door. Suddenly the fun night turns mysterious and dangerous. A killer has left a deadly message for Sarah to find.
Events turn worse when a circus worker is murdered. The killer’s style of murder tells Sarah exactly who he is. Sarah is torn, caught between the desire to walk away from being a cop and the need to catch a killer. The hunger to become a mother blocks her skill to think clearly. But after having a talk with Pete, Sarah gets back on track and begins to track down the killer. Only the killer has a new face and a completely new identity—along with a secret trick up his sleeve.

Amanda receives some prank gifts that turn menacing. To protect herself and the people she loves, she must use all her talents to outwit the threat. Snow Laughing Matter is an excellent and exciting mystery. Wendy Meadows has created one of my favorite series.

You have to make a choice between your job and what you want in life. the reason is that something from your past comes back and leaves a calling card that you recognize. What decision do you make? This is what happens to Sarah.
I love reading this series. It always has that bit of ‘tension’ / just on the edge of your seat, but not full blown scary, to keep you reading. It is definitely is a reason I keep reading.
This is can be read in a day. It moves along very fast. It can be read by itself but some things from previous books do show up. Like I still need to learn about the significance of the snowman.
I have a question: how did she figure out the date person? Did I miss it?
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.

The killer is in Alaska while his partner is in Los Angeles with her sights set in Pete. Sarah, Pete and Amanda have to work hard to stay a step ahead of the millers. In the end they solve the riddle and catch their killers. This is a great book in the series.
