I have no idea why the Sally Lockhart mysteries (four in all) are classified as for young readers. The plots and themes all seem very 'grown-up' to me.

I thoroughly enjoyed all four books in this series, especially the first three of which are based in Victorian London.

Quite a tour de force; an adventurous tale with lots of twists and turns and richly complex characters. Highly recommended.

The year is 1878. The leading character Sally Lockhart returns, four years older, as a twenty-two year old young lady. She has gone into business for herself as a financial consultant. Investigating the case of one of her clients having lost money in a potentially fraudulent company, she discovers a diabolical plot that exceeds far beyond a simple finacial matter.

Once again, her friends and associates (first encountered in the first book in the series) assist Sally as she investigates this dangerous business.
