About this listen
A thrilling dual timeline mystery that you won’t be able to put down! Perfect for fans of Sarah Burton, Stacey Halls, Jessie Burton and Kate Mosse.
Do you have the power to change your fate?
Pembrokeshire, Wales, 2020
Serious illness has forced Eleanor Wilder to leave her life in London, close her antique shop and return to the family farm in Pembrokeshire. Her instinct is to hide from the world but when her parents bring her to a family reunion at the nearby house, Cliffside, she is transfixed by a set of old family photographs.
One of the images is of a woman in theatrical dress, labelled ‘Esme Blood'—a name that is familiar to Eleanor through a set of Victorian tarot cards and diaries that she found through her shop. Certain the name is unusual enough not to be a coincidence, Eleanor begins to research the life of this intriguing woman.
London, England, 1875
Born to a teenage mother who couldn’t cope, Esme Blood is adopted by the ebullient Cornelius and Rosie Hardy into a touring theatrical troupe, along with her friend Aaron. When Aaron’s grandparents return to claim him, Esme is devastated and the two promise they will find each other.
Outgrowing her adopted lifestyle, Esme decides to set out to seek her fortune, and she relies on a deck of Tarot cards to direct her. But fate can be a cruel mistress, and before long Esme finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage.
Did Esme find happiness? Was she ever reunited with Aaron?
And will researching her family history bring healing to Eleanor....
THE MUSIC MAKERS is an enthralling dual timeline novel set between the Victorian era and the modern day: past and present entwine to create a thrilling and intriguing historical mystery. It is the second book in the Timeshift Victorian Mysteries Series.

such a great story with really compelling characters.
Great characterisations, I was really invested in their lives. I loved how the two different times were interwoven and the characters were linked. Great ending too, put a great big smile on my face.

Another....
brilliant storyline from start to finish especially with it going from past to present throughout the book. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

Entertaining, at Times Cheesey - Great Narrator
Second book I've listened to from this Author - the first felt a bit darker yet realistic, and provided more depth. While I preferred the first installment, Music Maker still gives an interesting glimpse into victorian society. Love learning about the costums and laws during the period.
Esme's story is and character is more compelling than Ellie's. Ellie feels a bit one dimensional and is only there to move Esme's story along.
There are some fantastic moments in the novel - secrets of baron-hall were some of the best in the book!

It grew on me…
I really loved book one and so I was really happy to see that there was a book 2 in the series. At first I was disappointed because it seemed very similar to book one but as the story went on it grew on me.

It's not you, it's me
It took me an age to get into this book. I just wasn't in the right place mentally. So it's me, not Alexandra Walsh who had put in interesting characters, well research historical aspects and great plot twists.

Fantastic and moving story with great historical content.
I felt I was inside the story. The narrator has taken it to a different level. I like the way mental health history was brought up. The characters were well written. I don’t know what to do now it’s finished.

Fantastic Narrator, brought alive a wonderful story.
Loved the Narrator's, clarity, pace, believable accents, different voices and perfect balance between narrating and performing. She brought to life another wonderfully crafted story, of romance, lasting love, suspense, facinating history, and believable fully rounded characters. A masterpiece.

Another Wonderful Book
This is another wonderful book by Alexandrea Walsh. Highly recommended this book to all. I love the concept of a modern story line running parallel with a historical one.
