The novel is the second book in a four book mystery-adventure series set in Edwardian England. The first book in the series was The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow which was Waterstones Children's Book of the Month in June 2015.
Sophie is an orphan who has been left penniless when her father dies. In The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow, Sophie finds a job in the millinery department of Sinclair’s Department store and makes friends with Billy a junior porter and Lil, a “manikins” by day and an aspiring actress.
In The Mystery of the Jewelled Moth, the Jewelled Moth, a priceless piece, disappears and again Sophie, Lil and Billy have to solve the mystery by infiltrating Lord Beaucastle’s fancy dress ball. While Sophie had come face to face with one of the villains of the East End in The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow, the mysterious Barron, and in The Mystery of the Jewelled Moth, Sophie gets even closer.
