Reviews
A spell-binding tale spanning continents and decades, which took hold of my heart and held me captive. Compulsive and heartrending, both love story and page-turning mystery, at the heart of The Midnight Carousel is an unforgettable heroine who has stayed with me long after I turned over the last page.
