Description

Staff notes: A woman detective and her ghostly companion in 19th century London set about trying to solve the case of a missing child who is... different... in fact, perhaps even deadly. - Belinda

The case of the extraordinary child . . .London, 1863. A strange puzzle has reached Bridie Devine, the finest female detective of her age. To recover a stolen child, Bridie must enter the dark world of medical curiosities. The public love a spectacle and this child may well prove the most remarkable spectacle London has ever seen.Things in Jars is a Victorian novel unlike any other, one that explores what it is to be human in inhumane times.
