A carnival! How much is hidden in this word… Especially when it’s a literary carnival in a small provincial town, Blaizebury, where behind the outward calmness and primness there simmer such passions that you’d better watch out. As it happens, I became the organizer of this literary mayhem—a modest librarian, Miss Meggie Stewart, and, not so long ago, Margarita Kondratyeva. And I, like a magnet, draw to myself other people’s secrets, treasures, troubles, marriage prospects and… corpses. Of course, it’s good that there are friends nearby who with great pleasure turn into accomplices, but what do you do with a carnival?! All that’s left is to follow the slogan: “If you can’t stop it—lead it!”
The second book in the “Miss Meggie Stewart” series. A cozy detective story with an unobtrusive romantic storyline.
