Oh my gosh, I read this book in middle school and LOVED it. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw the cover!

A fun little book with a decent twist at the end, though a few very obvious "coincidences" kept things moving. I did like Sally, though. She was shy but bold, smart and determined. Having just re-read Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, I was a bit disappointed that this one wasn't as sophisticated, perhaps Ruby's audience is intended to be younger.

This is remarkably slow, especially for a YA novel. DNF p. 60, this book isn't long enough to still be waiting for the story to start.

A strong female character in a strange and enticing mystery. Looking forward to Sally Lockhart's next adventure.

A rollicking murder mystery suitable for summer reading. Stock Dickensian characters. The good are very very good, and the bad are horrid. There are orphans, philanthropists, Victorian low life, and a suitably Gothic plot. All good not-so-clean fun, but not Pullman at his best
