Resumen del Editor

This boxed set contains three books in the USA Today best-selling Glass and Steele series:

• The Watchmaker's Daughter.
• The Mapmaker's Apprentice.
• The Apothecary's Poison.

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, this thrilling historical fantasy series will keep you listening late into the night.

Great listen, entertaining with just enough romance

I enjoyed the characters, both main and side. I think it's worth the time and money

the main characters

I loved these series so good im excited that I have 10 more to read

A thrilling romp full of mystery, romance, and magic.

The characters were engaging and the story was enjoyable with enough action to keep me turning pages/listening. I felt the books would have been as good or better without the profanity.

Should be an anglophile to fully enjoy the series

These stories have probably the slowest moving plotline I have ever listened to. That being said, as an anglophile, I am enjoying the nuances of British upper society and their behaviors. As an American, I could wish the heroine to be a bit more heroic and capable in times of stress. Nevertheless, it's like reading a Bronte or Austen novel, easy does it. If you like to savor your ice cream slowly, you'll love these stories. If you're expecting Harry Potter style excitement, look elsewhere.

Gas lamp mystery, Magic

The story is fast paced and intriguing. The different voices provided by Marian Hussey were amazing!

These long saga

That’s great to have a series of books to listen to to remove yourself from wherever you’re at and tell to something fantasy world

Change in voices!

After the first book the narrator changed and so did the voices.
I think a book set should stay the same.

good enough

a nice story, a bit of mystery but in a slooow way. the storyline is similar in every book. Just when you think that something will happen that will give the story a faster pace you are dissapointed.

I love everything!

This a great series. I enjoyed listening to them so much that I can’t wait for my next credit so I’m just going to buy the next book.

consistency, very convoluted, entertaining

This is pure entertainment and very enjoyable because of it.
Many time period discrepancies, but they don't detract from the story, they increase the escapism aspect.
Thanks awfully to the author for their bravery and talent.
I am sure I will read again.
