The Clockmaker's Secret: The Adventures of Ivy Sharp
A gripping mystery series for children aged 10+
When the clockmaker is found dead in his locked shop, twelve-year-old Ivy Sharp knows something is very wrong.
Ashwick looks like a perfectly ordinary English town on a perfectly ordinary summer morning. But Ivy notices things other people miss - a chair facing the wrong wall, a cold untouched teacup, and every clock in the shop stopped at exactly twenty-three minutes past eight.
The police call it a heart attack. Ivy calls it murder.
Armed with her father's leather satchel and her trusty red notebook, Ivy begins to investigate. But the clockmaker's secret goes back thirty-five years, to wartime Europe, to two young men who were supposed to be dead, and to a shadowy organisation with a very long memory.
And they've just found out about the girl.
