It'll be interesting to see where you go from this - is it about murder detectiving, does it always involve a clown apart from the main character? I could see you doing a sequel where the guy takes a holiday cruise, possibly with the Great Mantooth and his wife - it was mentioned early in the story as one of the jobs he applied for, but yeah - the hotel being stable he takes a cruise, murder happens and intrigue ensues...
Then the third either goes back to the hotel or he gets a job back as a professor and the FBI calls him in because there is a clown crime and he's a subject matter expert... I don't know if you'd want to get him away from the whole hotel, family, etc though... I kind of like the idea of him embracing that. Maybe he's working the hotel/casino and a History professors conference takes over and something happens and here he is the clown professor in amongst his previous peers? That'd be kind of hilarious and horrible.
I'd also be interesting in seeing something with Sidney and his clan happening further - because I felt kind of bad for them, criminals or not - Felicity seemed nice enough and driven to everything by circumstances... and yeah, Carlos and all didn't want to think bad of Sidney as a previous mentor, and he returned Moretti's money quickly enough... I get they had medical bills but it just ... it seemed something else was going on there and yeah for a minute I thought it was Moretti testing his security using the family, given he showed up, they returned the money and Sidney was so trusted... but yeah...
Anyway... just my thinking - seeing what you've done, you've probably got the next 30 books already planned out and I'm rambling, as I do.

I loved the thought processes and the "in character" moments of the clown, how he was a people watcher and was able to incorporate that knowledge into his act, and to figure things out. I really enjoyed this novel!

Yes, this is real, and a growing situation. Clowns are out there, and you don't know who they are. They can be anyone. They look just like you and me. But something inside them is different. Possibly wrong...

Please remember to tell your friends, family and interested strangers about this one! (Mystery loving strangers? Of course, if they're that, strangers, how would you know they loved things like that? Still, a good book recommendation never hurt my feelings...)
Plus there is the coming Great Clown Debate. Yeah, a few years ago it was all about Zombies, but in five years? Ten? Clowns. Creepy, hidden and mysteriously estranged from the world.
Where do they come from anyway? What causes a person to hide there face and go out into the world with the pretense of spreading merriment?
That's for later, but in this moment, I just wanted to say thank you, everyone!
