Things in Jars by Jess Kidd

[♥️] atmospheric, thrilling, dark, and eccentric!
low 4 out of 5 stars. i was amazed by the journey detective bridie devine goes through while trying to solve the kidnapping secret daughter of sir berwick! definitely couldn’t keep this book out of my mind. simply adored ruby, the boxer ghost, and cora, the seven foot tall house-maid! ah, i wish we had more content on both of them! floored by the wicked characters and gore!!
i don’t think i’ve read a book with the amount of pov transitions like this... sometimes it dampers the shock factor and makes the rest predictable. also, the author sometimes gets carried away with the extensive vocabulary and descriptions which made it difficult to read. :( nevertheless, it’s cool how kidd blends humor and gothic mystery!
