Author: A.M. Howell
Clever, atmospheric, and full of ticking suspense, THE HOUSE OF ONE HUNDRED CLOCKS is a richly imagined historical mystery where time itself feels like an enemy - and every second counts.
It is June, 1905, and Helena’s life changes overnight when her father is appointed clock-winder to one of the wealthiest men in England. Swept away to Cambridge with her beloved parrot, Orbit, Helena enters a vast and unsettling house filled with - you guessed it - one hundred clocks.
There is just one strict rule: the clocks must never stop. As Helena explores her strange new home, she begins to notice unsettling details - a ghostly figure glimpsed out of the corner of her eye, cryptic notes, and winding keys that mysteriously disappear. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that the house is hiding dangerous secrets. And if Helena can’t uncover the truth in time, the consequences could be devastating.
Written by A. M. Howell, this gripping novel blends Edwardian history with puzzle-solving intrigue and just the right hint of the supernatural. The ticking-clock tension builds beautifully, keeping readers hooked until the very last page.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric mysteries and puzzle-filled adventures, and ideal for confident readers who enjoy mysteries with hidden clues, The House of One Hundred Clocks proves that some houses don’t just keep time - they guard it.
