Glass and Steele Boxed Set: Books 1-3

De: C.J. Archer

Narrado por: Emma Powell, Marian Hussey

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.

Well paced and thoroughly enjoyable

I was expecting an intellectual Victorian mystery, but what I got was a galloping romance with vivid characters and a strong female protagonist. I liked it a great deal. It was a little difficult to switch gears between the two narrators (the first book was all right, the other two were a little better). And the plots were a bit thin, but the fact that I didn't even mind says a lot about the quality of the writing. Don't expect High Literature, just enjoy the ride.

Great listen, entertaining with just enough romance

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

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.

the main characters

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

Excellent series

The story line keeps you interested throughout all books and the actors bring the story to life. The performances are well done, I’ll listen to often.
