Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets? Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker\'s Daughter is a story of murder, mystery, and thievery, of art, love, and loss.
Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist\'s sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.
But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe\'s life is in ruins.
Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity.
In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames.
The truth about that summer, no one else knows.
My real name, no one remembers.
