T.A. Willberg was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her mother, after whom her protagonist is named, is a trained nurse who worked at the Institute of Race Relations during the years of apartheid. Her father is German and a mechanical engineer with a wildly inventive imagination, and certainly the influence behind many of the gadgets in the novel. She now lives in Malta with her partner.
The most fun I've had with a book this year. Every page is a
delight, the worldbuilding is wonderful, and the mystery got its
hooks into me from the first chapter
*Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn
Hardcastle*
Crackles with invention and surprise-the wondrous gadgetry, the
moody settings, the endearing heroine and the struggles she's
endured-and Willberg weaves it all together around a perfectly
puzzling locked-room whodunnit
*Matthew Sullivan, author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas
Bookstore*
A tantalizing, steampunk-flavored mystery... Delicious fun!
*Helene Wecker, author of The Golem and the Jinni*
