This novel is one of the recent stories set in the world of Newford, that delightful town somewhere in Canada , where there is magic, music and craft. The main characters casually practise magic and play music or write. There is an annual festival of fairy themed music and art, and some of those who attend are actual fairies.
Juniper Wiles is a former actress who has returned to Newford after spending several years in a TV series called Nora Constantine, playing as a teenage detective. To her surprise, she finds people calling her by the name of the character she played, including a ghost who wants her to solve a mystery for him before he can move on. She must do some mystery solving, reluctantly, with her friend July Coppercorn, who appears in other De Lintvnovels, and find the actual Nora Constantine , who lives in another universe and has gone missing; the universe is based on an unpublished novel, and Nora is probably a prisoner of the villain.
This novel was entertaining enough For me to buy the next book in the series. I’m reading it now.
It’s available in ebook and print, as well as audiobook .
