The publisher's blurb on the back of my edition of TTITW reads "THE PLOT GRIPS LIKE A DROWNING MAN AND DRAGS THE READER DEEP INTO THE SEWERS OF VICTORIAN VILLAINY." Yes.

Con mi suerte de siempre, resultó ser el cuarto ( La princesa de hojalata ). Con mi suerte de siempre, res Leggi tutto

The Tiger in the Well is now my favourite in these Sally Lockhart Mysteries . It handles injustices against women and other vulnerable parties in such a way that made me furious.
