Best booktrail of the Month for March 2022
I have had a good book month. This book was one that I had been waiting for and it did not disappoint. It has to be the March winner!
So which book won the award for this month of March?
This nomination comes with virtual hugs for the author and an also virtual glass of something sparkling…..
The plot:
In the midst of an icy winter, as birds fall frozen from the sky, chambermaid Madeleine Chastel arrives at the home of the city’s celebrated clockmaker and his clever, unworldly daughter.
Madeleine is hiding a dark past, and a dangerous purpose: to discover the truth of the clockmaker’s experiments and record his every move, in exchange for her own chance of freedom.
For as children quietly vanish from the Parisian streets, rumours are swirling that the clockmaker’s intricate mechanical creations, bejewelled birds and silver spiders, are more than they seem.
And soon Madeleine fears that she has stumbled upon an even greater conspiracy. One which might reach to the very heart of Versailles…

This is a feast for the eyes, ears and everything else in between. It’s darkly gothic, stunning, atmospheric and very, very well written and expertly evoked.
Paris! the cobbled streets, the lights of the city and Versailles!
