 "Fraud, fire, and bloody murder pursue Sally Lockhart in a fine sequel to The Ruby in the Smoke. Sally, now 22, is in business as a financial consultant. When she and her friends challenge corrupt financial interests, they find themselves in a web of intrigue that stretches from fetid slums of the poor to the corporate offices of the richest man in Europe. Sally's detective work reveals the connections between corrupt power and broken lives. The action is fast, scenes are tight and dramatic, the language is vivid, and the wealth of minor characters are sharply individualized. An immensely entertaining thriller."--(starred) Booklist. Reading level: 6.7.   less

Really good, and a great second book. Sally Lockhart definitely has to be my favourite heroine!

"The Shadow in the North" totally exceeds my expectations! What a powerful story with subtle language and sophisticated storyline. I dare say that it is even more captivating than its prequel "The Ruby in the Smoke".
It seems that "The Ruby in the Smoke" sells me more at the moment.

Similar to the preceding book The Ruby in the Smoke in that it's an engaging, easy to read story.  Better in that it has a philosophical moment.  Worse in that a good guy deliberately kills a bad guy, which bothers me morally.  In the previous book, the killing done by good guys was a little more forgivable because it was more self defense.

Second in the Sally Lockhart series. These are not usually the types of books that I read, but I loved the other Philip Pullman series and found this a quick and engaging read. This was where the issues of political and social injustice start to appear, along with the questionable ethics of lending one's craft to an evil purpose.
