When an apprentice from the Mapmakers' Guild goes missing, Matt and India are employed to find him. Going undercover as a married couple, they discover that not everyone at the guild is what they seem, and the lad's unearthly maps caused jealousy, suspicion and fear.
With one of the apprentice's magic maps in their possession, India and Matt must use their wits and India's fledgling, untried magic to find him. But the more they investigate, the more sinister plots they uncover, including a link between the Mapmakers' and Watchmakers' Guilds, and an ancient magical treasure buried beneath the streets of London.
As the net of suspicion widens and enemies draw closer, it's not just the apprentice's life that's in danger, but Matt's too. Someone will go to great lengths to prevent him discovering the name of the man who can fix the watch keeping him alive. Great lengths indeed.

This continues to be a very easy and enjoyable series to listen to. There’s a comfortable rhythm to these books that makes returning to Matt and India feel familiar and entertaining.
Marian Hussey continues to do a wonderful job with the narration. Her pacing and character voices fit the tone of the story well, and she brings a warmth to the listening experience that kept me engaged throughout.
The mystery surrounding the missing mapmaker’s apprentice was enjoyable, and I continue to like the smaller surprises that appear along the way. India’s instincts often lead to unexpected moments, which keeps things interesting.
What held this one back for me was the larger story progression. I had hoped for more development surrounding India’s magic and some of the ongoing mysteries, but much of that felt like it stayed in the background. This installment felt more like part of a larger story than a complete novel.
Matt and India’s chemistry continues to grow and, honestly, that dynamic is becoming one of my favorite parts of the series. Their interactions kept me wanting more.
Still an entertaining listen overall, even if I wanted a bit more movement this time around. ✨
Who this is for: listeners who enjoy cozy historical mysteries with fantasy elements, gradual character development, and slower long-term storytelling.
Fun Mystery, Slow Progress.
