About this listen
This is the dangerous story of Trilby Moffat, who took on one of the most treacherous jobs of all time. Well...outside of time, to be precise. For fans of Nevermoor and Lemony Snicket.
This is NOT just any old book. THIS is a legal document. It contains a truthful record of how Trilby Moffat was accidentally promoted to the most important job that ever existed. The job of Time Keeper.
A mystery illness is making people bake ancient cakes, speak dead languages and then fall asleep and never wake up. When Trilby Moffat's mother catches this strange sickness, Trilby must find her only other surviving relative, a 300-year-old aunt who lives in a secret antique shop on the edge of time.
Ahead of Trilby lies an unusual inheritance, an opportunity that will never be repeated and a man in a top hat who will try to kill her...more than once.
This is the story of how one ordinary girl finds herself on a deliciously fast-paced adventure, fleeing to an island where time doesn't exist, cats are particularly rude and cake is always on the menu. Here she will take on the most treacherous job of all time. Well...outside of time, to be precise.
This is the dangerous business of being Trilby Moffat.

Lack of fantasy 
It wasn’t upbeat like riding a rainbow or a unicorn or playing with a fairy

Great Performance, Fun Story
A fun story perfect for those who enjoy light-hearted fantastical chaos (e.g. as Lemony Snicket). LOVED the narrator, really engaging and so easy to listen to. Really helped sell the characters and their journey through a very expressive and energetic performance! Very enjoyable to listen to.
