As "The Tiger in the Well" begins, we find Sally Lockhart a single mother in Victorian England, her lover having died before they could be married. This is a hard enough situation, in those times, but soon Sally finds herself as the victim of a mysterious and elaborate scheme designed to ruin her reputation and have her daughter taken from her. Who could hate her this much, and why? Exciting, entertaining (and feminist) adventure.

Kept me interested throughout.
Actually, I think this is the best of the three Sally Lockhart books.

Great ending to a spine tingling trilogy.

Get all three Sally Lockhart books. Read them back to back as they all belong together in one giant novel.
BOOK 1: The Ruby in the Smoke instroduces us to the main characters and develops their relationship through an adventure/mystery ala Sherlock Holmes. BOOK 2: The Shadow In The North lets Sally loose with her new found family as they get unwittingly get involved in another set of scams and find they all come together at one railway crossroad. BOOK 3: The Tiger In The Well -- will pick up where Book 2 left off; pay attention to BOOK 2 before you get into BOOK 3! This is important to keep all three books fresh by reading them back to back. Highly recommended series. If you like your ladies to be ladies but also not afraid to get their hands dirty or think out a plan, strong women characters, then you will fall in love with Pullman's Sally. After reading His Dark Materials, right up my alley for novels, didn't think I'd really like the Sally Trilogy. Wrong! It's the writer who makes you the fan for life.

Great for teens and adults. Very good plot -- intriguing! Part of a series.

I didn't care for this series as much as "The Dark Materials" trilogy, but Philip Pullman is an excellent young adult author.


From Publishers Weekly
This sequel to The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North combines heart-thumping suspense, a thorough-going examination of Victorian London's underclass, a lively gang of heroes and villains and a mystery sinister enough to leave readers filled with anxiety. An unknown evildoer has made elaborate plans to steal Sally Lockhart's life away from her--by usurping her home, her business, her daughter Harriet and, finally, her sanity. Elsewhere in London, Jewish immigrants who have fled the Russian pogroms are being systematically fleeced. Daniel Goldberg, a socialist journalist, believes that the evil genius behind these brutal acts is a shadowy figure known as the Tzaddik. Rendered homeless and hounded through London's slums, Sally endures a plight that in many ways mirrors the mistreatment of the Jews. Aided by Goldberg and a handful of the city's toughest gangsters, the dauntless heroine triumphs over this malevolence. Astute readers are likely to figure out the Tzaddik's identity long before Sally does--a bit of predictability that is at odds with Pullman's otherwise tight plotting. On the whole, however, this thought-provoking romp is as rich and captivating as a modern-day Dickens novel. Ages 12-up.
