Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The second book in the Sally Lockhart Quartet, narrated by Adjoa Andoh.

An elderly lady loses her money on an investment; a conjuror is pursued by thugs; and a clairvoyant mentions the name of the richest man in Europe and his mysterious company. Seemingly unconnected events set Sally Lockhart on the trail of an evil far more awful than she could ever imagine.

Kept teenagers and parents spell bound for 12 hour journey. Andoh's accents added to drama.

Fabulous story, brilliantly read

I love Philip Pullman but these stories are made even more magical by Andoh’s brilliant narration. The many different voices, the feeling and thoughtful performance in her dialogue make listening an absolute pleasure!

Adjoa Andoh’s narration is incredible!

The unexpected events which grip you from the first page; is quite good. From Book one which was brilliant, this was a great continuation that is convincing and enticing in certain parts.
The story has its highs and sadness in a way that only Pullman can pull off (no pun intended 😂). The story is engaging and the characters hilarious. The only uncomfortable parts are the relationship between Fred and Sally which is quite brutish and not comfortable. The second, would be the incoherent story of the wedding proposal! A little far fetched.
Not sure where he will go with Sally from here but I’m in!!
