The Clockwork Sparrow meets Downton Abbey
It’s a bitterly cold winter in Yorke and Rose Raventhorpe and her butler Heddsworth are stuck with Rose’s unpleasant cousin Herbert, and his equally horrible butler, Bixby.
When an orphan boy named Orpheus interrupts the Cathedral’s Mistletoe Service, saying that his sister has been kidnapped, Rose vows to help. Solving the mystery will be a lot better than accompanying ghastly Herbert! But the investigation is more complicated than Rose has anticipated and will lead her and her butler friends through fancy tea-rooms, horrible factories, secret underground passages and more…
Fireplace pokers are much more dangerous than you might imagine . . .

This book started well but I lost interest part way through. I did finish it though.

full of mystery and suspense . My favourite character was Rose Raventhorpe because she was really brave when she was in the fire at the Orphanage.

I really enjoyed readings this book because it was a mystery but it also included some murders so it was very thrilling. It was all about a boy called Orpheus who ran away from an orphanage because his sister disappeared and he wanted to find her. Rose helped him and eventually they found out that she was actually still in the orphanage but she was locked away. They got her out and everyone's was happy. Well, except for the orphanage owners because the orphanage burned down. But, if you want to find out why it burned down, you'll have to read the book!

This book is about a girl called Rose who lives in the days of York, one day when Rose is at church a boy runs in claiming that his sister has been kidnapped it looks like its up to rose and the butler guardians of the city to find the boys sister and bring her home. This book is a brilliant read for children ages 9 and above.
