An amazing book filled with mystery, have to keep reading but more unravels every book from the taylor and rose secret agents

This book is just genius. Katherine has such imagination that she takes me into the book, I can picture every scene. It is based on two storylines, one about an 18 year old girl called Sophie Taylor who is assigned a dangerous mission about a murder. The other storyline is set in Arnovia, where a prince and princess runs away from their home with a British agent who is under the disguise of their governess. The two stories connect almost as little hints are given. This book is full of thrill and mystery which definitely worth reading. I would recommend it to girls 11 to 14 years old.

It is a very interesting story . I like it although the way that the men treat women is not fair (the girls always justify this ). It is a very interesting and complex story and I am definitely going to read more of the series.

This was an amazing follow on from the Sinclairs Mysteries but apart from Lil and Sophie, the other friends aren't so included. It is still really good

This was a simply amazing book, exploring life of two women - Sophie Taylor and Lillian Rose. They're detectives in the early 19th century. This book explored important topics about women empowerment while engaging me with a fast-paced, mysterious plot! I would surely read this again!

Recommended age range would be: 10+

This is the thrilling tale of private detectives Sophie Taylor and Lilian Rose as they find themselves on a mysterious case in Paris on behalf of the Secret Service Bureau! Set in 1911, this is a fast paced book full of intrigue and plot twists and Sophie and Lil are two wonderful heroines to explore Paris with.

I think this book is exciting but terryfiying it is ficton my favourite person is tilly

07 Sep 2021

When Sophie and Lil are put on separate missions for their detective agency they aren't allowed any communication. Can they protect the world from evil clubs or will their undercover identity be discovered?

I recommend it to 8 to 13 year old children.

24 Aug 2021

It was great to read about the characters I had liked so much from The Clockwork Sparrow. To fully understand this story it would have been better if I had read all of the series of The Sinclair Mysteries but I have only read the first one.

However I really liked this and the intrigue and sense of adventure was excellent.

21 Aug 2021

This book was good and confusing. It included murder, mystery and aviation. It was set in different places.

09 Aug 2021

I loved this book so much I am currently reading another book of hers [the painted dragon] i love how she writes.

06 Aug 2021

Sophie and Lil save the day again. Paris, circus and secret service all make for a great read. I would recommend the whole series to anyone that likes action books.

16 Jun 2021

Amazing
Taylor and Rose actually started in another series called The Sinclair Mysteries which are brilliant, also I recommend you read The Sinclair Mysteries first.

Taylor and Rose are brilliant for fans of Murder Most Unladylike.
It is great, fun and thrilling.

All aboard the train to Paris! The genre is mystery and suspense because it has murder, cliff hangers and detectives in it.

04 Jan 2021

This was a fictional book, based on some real events and although the story was made up it was a page turning, very interesting read. I definitely give it five stars.

I adore murder mystery books!!! My fav bit in this book is where Anna and Alex-Prince and Princess of Arnovia, escapes Wilderstein castle, I also like the bit where Sophie goes to La Lune Bleue to try and find some clues!! My fav character is Sophie though I also like Anna and Lil [sort for Lilly] I would recommend to people who love Mystery and Murder!!
