The Ruby in the Smoke: A Sally Lockhart Mystery by Philip Pullman

3.0

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.
