About this listen

India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancé took her inheritance, and no one will employ her, despite years working for her watchmaker father. Indeed, the other London watchmakers seem frightened of her. Alone, poor, and at the end of her tether, India takes employment with the only person who'll accept her - an enigmatic and mysterious man from America, a man who possesses a strange watch that rejuvenates him when he's ill. Matthew Glass must find a particular watchmaker, but he won't tell India why any old one won't do. Nor will he tell her what he does back home, and how he can afford to stay in a house in one of London's best streets. So when she reads about an American outlaw known as the Dark Rider arriving in England, she suspects Mr. Glass is the fugitive. When danger comes to their door, she's certain of it. But if she notifies the authorities, she'll find herself unemployed and homeless again - and she will have betrayed the man who saved her life. With a cast of quirky characters, an intriguing mystery, and a dash of romance, The Watchmaker's Daughter is the start of a thrilling new historical fantasy series from the author of the best-selling Ministry of Curiosities, Freak House, and the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium books.

This is my first book by CJ Archer, but ive already downloaded the next 5 books. It has a really good mystery with a little bit of potential romance. If you are a fan of Harry Potter then I believe you will love this book.

I enjoyed this quite a bit more than I expected to in all honesty; looking for a new series for my work commute that engaged but was not too complicated, I tried a fair few books but, disappointed with the quality , returned or deleted. This series, however, is funny, engaging and entertaining . I will be listening to the rest in the series. *** there is a change of narrator from book one to the the rest but it does not affect the reading.

very enjoyable
