The Shadow in The North by Phillip Pullman

When one of Sally’s clients loses a large sum of money in the unexpected collapse of a British shipping firm, Sally sets out to investigate. But as she delves deeper into the identity of a wealthy and elusive industrialist, she uncovers a plot so diabolical, it could subvert the entire civilized world.

  1. Although slightly longer than "The Ruby in The Smoke", I was able to read this in under a week, mostly due to its flawless writing, and intriguing plot. While the previous book was mainly centered around Sally and her family, this scheme of an industrialist concerns the entire world. I also found this book much sadder than the first, and that it delves much deeper into the lives of the characters. It also creates a very nice setup for the next book, "The Tiger in The Well"

  6. I honestly had no idea what would happen next, but now that I'm well into the third book, I'm getting a sense of what might happen. However give Pullman's frequent plot twists, I could be entirely wrong.

  7. Ari: The plot in The Shadow in the North was less concerned with Sally but with global scale, in this case, a weapon. It's sadder because there are more fatalities than the first book.
