A decade ago, fairgoers inexplicably vanished riding an extraordinary carousel, and Detective Laurent Bisset closed the case with a suspect behind bars. So when rumors of fresh disappearances in Chicago also linked to a carousel make their way across the Atlantic, Laurent sets out for new answers to an old mystery.

Maisie and Laurent both hold clues to this dark puzzle.

But can they piece it together before the carousel claims someone else?

Loved the characters and the way the story was told. it follows the main character nearly her entire life, and gives you several glimpses of what happens after the main plot ends. I love a good mystery, my only criticism would be that I did find the ending a bit far-fetched. All in all an enjoyable read and I would certainly enjoy more of this author's work.

An abundance of epilogues
