Underholdningsromaner
Once London's top thief, Barclay Pearce has turned his back on his life of crime and now uses his skills for a nation at war. But not until he rescues a clockmaker's daughter from a mugging does he begin to wonder what his future might hold. Evelina Manning has constantly fought for independence, but she certainly never meant for it to inspire her fiance to end the engagement and enlist in the army. When the intriguing man who saved her returns to the Manning residence to study clockwork repair with her father, she can't help being interested. But she soon learns that nothing with Barclay Pearce is as simple as it seems. As 1915 England plunges ever deeper into war, the work of an ingenious clockmaker may give England an unbeatable military edge--and Germany realizes it as well. Evelina's father soon finds his whole family in danger--and it may just take a reformed thief to steal the time they need to escape.

Nok en spennende bok fra Roseanna White. Jeg har lest denne boken 2 ganger, og den var fortsatt underholdende og vanskelig å legge fra seg da jeg leste den for andre gang. Dette er den tredje boken i «Shadows over England»serien. Første bok er «A Name Unknown» og bok nr 2 er«A Song Unheard». Jeg anbefaler å lese dem først. Da vil denne boken svare på spørsmål og løse tråder fra de andre bøkene. I serien «Order of Codebreakers» møter vi igjen noen av karakterene, og handlingen er lagt rett etter handlingen i denne serien. Den første boken i den serien «the number of love» blir min neste bok. Fortellerstemmen er god, med ulike diaklekter og en behagelig stemme.
