The Clockwork Sparrow meets Downton Abbey When Rose Raventhorpe's beloved butler is found (gasp!) murdered in the hallway of her own house, she's determined to uncover the culprit. Especially since he's the third butler to die in a week! Rose's investigation leads her on a journey into a hidden world of grave robbers and duelling butlers, flamboyant magicians and the city's ancient feline guardians. Knives aren't just for cutting cucumber sandwiches, you know . . .

I thought that this was a really mysterious murder book. My thoughts on what I have read are that I didn't expect Arundel to be the murderer. My favourite character was Rose because she was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of all the murders. I would recommend this book to other who like murder mysteries.

I really liked the book. It's a fantasy mystery book. My favourite character is Rose Raventhorpe, a young girl who lives in the victorian area in York. I would recommend this book for people who like reading mysteries and solving crimes.

If murder happens in a posh household it’s a big deal. Especially when it actually happens in the Raventhorpe family home.

This book was very funny and it was a murder mystery but Rose investigated and found out why and who did this because her own butler died. I recommend this book.

I really liked this book. It was very surprising because all of the butlers were trained in combat.

I really enjoyed this book - it was gripping from the start. I liked Argle, who was a really nice person with an air of mystery about him. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery (although it is very descriptive of the deaths).
