She’s also incredibly realistic and three-dimensional, with her emotional side vying for dominance with her logic and intelligence. She’s a fiercely independent and frequently stubborn character, who is reluctant to accept help in an attempt to prove that she can manage alone.
The Sally Lockhart books focus on Sally Lockhart (surprise, surprise) - a young woman with a knack for numbers and organisation who, by the time this book starts, has set up her own business as a financial consultant, even though such a thing is almost unheard of in Victorian London, where the books are set. I read these books a few years ago, and after acquiring the first one in a library sale I decided to pick this one up when I saw it cheaply in an Oxfam shop while on holiday. It may be slightly odd to review the second book in a series without having reviewed the first book, but I’ve always been one for oddity.
