Summary
Escape into the enchanting world of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. This extraordinary sequel transports listeners to Japan, where time, destiny and love collide to electrifying effect
'A Japan that never was, a future lost, ghosts that are not dead ... not even a partial list of ingredients can do justice to this wonderful cake of a book ... A time-defying thriller' ROBIN HOBB
For Thaniel Steepleton, an unexpected posting to Tokyo can’t come at a better moment. The London fog has made him ill and doctor’s orders are to get out.
His brief is strange: the staff at the British Legation have been seeing ghosts, and his first task is to find out what’s going on. But staying with his closest friend Keita Mori in Yokohama, Thaniel starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons he won’t say, Mori is frightened. Then he vanishes.
Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labour camp in northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori’s, must investigate.
As ghosts appear across Tokyo and the weather turns bizarrely electrical, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori’s disappearance – and that Mori might be in far more trouble than any of them first thought.

The woman is a genius
Another corker. Brilliant as her previous two and great (because I'm an old softie) to hear more about all those involved in The Watchmaker of Filigree Street.
There is no-one else who writes quite like her and they're beautifully narrated too. Don't be put off (if it's the sort of thing that does put you off) by the fantasy aspect because it's almost not about that although, of course, it is. That's the thing about this lady's books and why she is a genius. You can't explain what they are about because above and beyond everything, they are about the people in them.
Just give it a try, it's far, far, far more likely you'll enjoy it than you won't and if you don't it's not the end of the world. However, if it is the end of the world it won't really matter will it?!

Superb
What a superb sequel to the ‘Watchmaker of Filigree Street’. I wish I had re-listened to the ‘Watchmaker’ before embarking on this book, as they are so intrinsically linked and I’d forgotten important elements that were a little confusing to start.
The narrator was excellent at using different tones and subtle accents for the multiple characters which made it far easier to follow. There were so many important characters, it could have been difficult to keep up, but his characterful voice helped the story to flow nicely.
A beautiful story that kept me riveted from the moment I started, very well written.

I read it twice, 2nd time around I gleaned more
I really enjoyed this book as I am totally invested in the characters! However! ......the first time I read it I did find it a trifle confusing, the names and places are so strange to my ears that I couldn't always identify with the 'who, what and where', even so, on finishing the book my immediate reaction is to decide to read it again so that I can get it clear in my mind. I did get the overall story, but feel it needs a second try!
Definitely worth reading........ (twice 😄!)
Update after second reading!
Yes I definitely got so much more by reading it again, absolutely brilliant! I love this author!

A rather complicated drawn out book.
I did enjoy this book although I stopped halfway through and then picked it up later on. Not sure why as it is a very good story with some brilliant characters.

Convoluted but back level of “Watchmaker”
Loved the watch maker of filigree street and really hated the next book. Back on form with this one, laughed out loud, worried and smiled.

Exquisite
This is just beautiful. Full of suspense and a story that moves quick enough to keep interest but slow enough to let you savour the strange and wonderful world she has built.

Loved Pulley’s previous books, this just didn’t do it for me
I’ve loved Natasha Pulley’s previous books and have listened to them again and again, but this book just failed to recreate the same atmosphere or capture my imagination as the previous books.
I know almost all the other reviews are strongly positive, which is why I stuck with this book, despite wanting to give up again and again. Natasha’s previous books conjured a magical world that captivated me and I loved them. This one - not so much.

Tries to build too much
I really enjoy the characters and Japan in this story. It just got too much for me at some points. Would have loved a third installment.
