Infernal Devices (The George Dower Trilogy, #1) (Angry Robot)

by K W Jeter

He inherited a watchmaker's store - and a whole heap of trouble. But idle sometime-musician George has little talent for clockwork. And when a shadowy figure tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, music and sexual intrigue. A genuine lost classic, "Infernal Devices" is a Steampunk classic that has been out of print for far too long. It's time has come.

Reviews

[Quirky Cat]

This book is written in the format of a journal, with the main character telling us his observations and opinions. It starts in the present time and then switches back however long ago in order to tell us the story of how things ended up the way they did.
So far, its pretty interesting, though I haven't made my way to the meat of the plot yet.
