The Story
Sophie’s father recently died whilst on a military trip to South Africa. There is an issue with his will which leaves Sophie without any money.
Sophie is deserted in London without a job until she stumbles across the incredible Sinclair’s Department Store – a store of wonder in the heart of the capital owned by Mr Edward Sinclair.
Sophie gets a job at Sinclair’s in the millinery department and meets Lil, a super model with ambitions to become an actress.
Mr Sinclair is launching an exhibition advertising treasures from all around the world including the priceless clockwork sparrow.
On the evening that Sinclair’s opens, the clockwork sparrow goes missing. Soon, Sophie, Lil and their friends Billy and Joe find themselves thrust into a mindboggling mystery.
Is the plot bigger and more extreme than they ever imagined?
My Thoughts
I have read so many incredible books however I think that this one has to be the best book I have ever read! I love the thrill of the plot in this book, the three other books in the Sinclair’s series and the continuation in the two books in the Taylor & Rose series. My favourite character is probably Sophie for her bravery and determination. I would recommend this book to anybody who has a thirst for adventure and mystery.
