My mother wanted to name me "Tamara" but the nurse who filled out my birth certificate misspelled it as "Tamora". Obviously, I've read a lot of books in 54 years! It's a very evil way to use up time when I should be doing other things. When I get bored, I go through the different lists and rediscover books I've read in the past.

A man is shot, and Joe is the only witness to the crime. Together, they become an unlikely crime-fighting team when the store’s opening is marred by the theft of Mr Sinclair’s personal treasures, including the famous clockwork sparrow. There she meets Billy, a young porter who loves to read adventures stories, Lil, a fashion model and actress, and Joe, who is on the run from an East End gang. Set in Edwardian London, The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow tells the story of Sophie Taylor, a 14-year-old girl who has fallen on hard times since the death of her military father, and has taken a job at Sinclair’s, a glamorous new department store about to open its doors for the first time.
