Come children, come children from far and near. Come choose your steed, you galloping knights, to enjoy the fun of the carousel . . .
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 still 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.

"I adored Fiza Saeed McLynn's debut novel, THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL. Evoking both Jazz age Chicago and turn-of-the-century Paris, this immersive novel braids stories of love, found family, and loss around a mysterious, exquisite carouselat its centre.

Readers are in for a treat with this captivating carnival ride of a novel!" - Melissa Fu

A brilliant, absorbing ride, one of the most atmospheric novels I've read in a long time." - Amanda Geard
