This is a fast-paced and compelling mystery adventure with gorgeous Edwardian period detail, this is Mr Selfridge meets Nancy Drew!
My Review:
I read the first book in this series, The mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow, a while ago and I enjoyed it, I did but I haven’t really been thinking about it since then so I was almost at the point of unhauling this series because I didn’t think I was going to pick up the second one but then I did, and I loved it. This book I was hooked form the beginning, there are balls and disguises and a great group of protagonists and overall it was a fun time reading it.
This book is a middle grade but I didn’t think that the mystery felt young, it felt like it was well thought out and planned and it was just complicated enough to be fun and shocking.
