“On the outskirts of Paris, where factories and foundries bustle by day, there is silence at night.”

The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of The Midnight Carousel by Fiza Saaed McLynn in Paris, around the UK and even in Amsterdam today!

Who was lucky enough to spot one?

About the book:

Paris, 1914

Detective Laurent Bisset has reluctantly closed a most puzzling case. Fairgoers have been vanishing while riding a dazzling carousel. The only man who could be responsible is behind bars – but Laurent cannot explain what happened to those missing.

Chicago, 1920

Maisie Marlowe acquires a beautiful, antique carousel, and sets up the Silver Kingdom amusement park. It is a place of delight and wonder – until a child goes missing on its most famous ride.

When rumours of the Chicago disappearance reach Laurent, he crosses the Atlantic in search of new answers to an old mystery. Together, can he and Maisie uncover the carousel’s secret before it claims another?

Happy finders!

We love hearing from those lucky souls who find the books left behind by book fairies… here are some of our favourite pics and messages from today!
