USA Today bestselling series.
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 bestselling Ministry of Curiosities, Freak House, and Emily Chambers Spirit Medium books.

Very promising start

Sikke en positiv overraskelse. Der er så mange dårlige i den her genre. Normalt er jeg ikke til victoriansk Urban fantasy - men den her virkede overbevisende. Blev hurtigt opslugt af hovedpersonen og plottet. Længe siden jeg er stødt på en voksen hovedperson der opfører sig voksent. Oplæseren dygtig. Det bedste er det er første del af en serie på 13. Så hopper videre til Mapmakers apprentrice.

Slow burn romance historisk Urban fantasy Hyggelig 1800 tals London Dejligt med en kvindlig hovedperson som ikke er urealistik naiv for sin alder og kun en anelse overdrevne reaktioner Gode side-personer
