About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Clockwork Conspiracy by Sam Sedgman, read by Jot Davies.

‘Clever, inventive and a cracking read’ – Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl

A locked-room mystery packed with rooftop chases, hidden codes and mind-bending science, The Clockwork Conspiracy is a must for fans of the Adventures on Trains series and Sharna Jackson's High Rise mysteries.

Aspiring inventor Isaac Turner lives with his dad, the horologist in charge of Big Ben. But when his father vanishes from the belfry on the night the clocks go back, leaving behind only a smashed pocket watch and a cryptic message, Isaac determines to find him.

Hunting a trail of clues through London’s landmarks, Isaac uncovers a sinister plot in the gears of government and embarks on a race against time to save his father – and time itself.

‘A smart and pacey thriller. Time well spent’ – The Times

‘A taut, tense mystery with perfectly-timed plotting, this is guaranteed to make the time fly’ – Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?

‘A gripping mystery delivered with panache’ ­– The Observer

‘A thrilling story from start to finish’ ­­– Inis Magazine

‘Action-packed with twisty turns and a gripping plot’ – Daily Mail

Novel, imaginative, adventurous, well written and mysterious. Involves brave characters and a villain. Probably one of the top children's books I have listened to, and there are a few. I know my review doesn't give this book justice but I highly recommend it. It can be read as a standalone but there is also another book following on from this (also highly recommended) and I believe more to come, involving the same characters.

Imaginative book about time and adventure.

The enthralling story woven around them has led to all sorts of discussions, research and exploration of our own and had such a positive effect on young minds leading them forward to carry out their own research creating endless possibilities. Thank you
