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.

I really enjoyed this book and Emma Powell's narration. I've heard her narrate before and enjoyed it. Sadly, she doe not narrate the subsequent books and the story slightly suffers. I like how she portrays India Steele as slightly prim, which is believable for 1890 Britain.

Entertaining read

Where does The Watchmaker's Daughter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Wow, this was a great story! I love that it has a bit of everything - mystery, drama, romance, comedy - a great listen. I enjoyed learning about all of the characters and look forward to knowing more about them. I also appreciate the fact that the romance is simmering so that there is a delicious undercurrent when India and Matt interact with each other. I didn't want it to end - in fact mid listen, I purchased the 2nd book to have it ready when the 1st book ended. I gave the performance 4 stars because at times the narrator seemed to whisper and I had a hard time listening to her even with the volume turned up. But other than that, i have no complaints regarding this book.

Loved it!

This novel is enchanting with many mysteries. The flirtations between Mr. Glass and Ms. Steele makes the heart flutter with the romance of it, while maintaining the sense of propriety. The narration by Emma Powell was a wonderful performance, with just the right pacing and tone. It was addicting to listen to from both the writing and the narration perspectives and I purchased the second novel right away, but was admittedly disappointed it wasn't narrated by the same person. I'm hoping the third book in the series is narrated by Emma Powell!

Superb

Great book, but it didn't end with the watch being fixed. Looking forward to book 2.

C.J. Archer is a devious writer. By the time the plot threads were finally twisted together into one rope, you could have moored a battle cruiser to a dock with it!

After the first chapter, I suspected almost every character except the main one. There were many plot twists along the way leading down unmarked alleys and into dead ends. In fact, the plot was about as twisty as the actual maze known as London.

Emma Powell gives an excellent performance . She juggled British & American accents flawlessly while presenting the story. Her obvious talent as a performer is shown through the consistency of each of the characterizations.

For concerned parents: There were mild swear words & romantic tension sprinkled throughout. There were a few scenes of high plot tension as well as some threatened sexual violence.

999 Guesses & I Was STILL Wrong About The Ending!

Excellent story, mixing Victorian England, a touch of romance, plus a hint of mystery and magic. The only problem is that the narrator, Emma Powell, is not brought back for the other six books in the series. This is a tragedy, because her voice flavor is perfect for the main character, a scrappy Londoner, immediately reminiscent of the actress Rachel Weisz.

Excellent narration and story! Really miss the narrator, though!
