Winding her way through the labyrinthine, sooty streets of Victorian London, Bridie won't rest until she finds the young girl, even if it means unearthing a past that she'd rather keep buried. Luckily, her search is aided by an enchanting cast of characters, including a seven-foot tall housemaid; a melancholic, tattoo-covered ghost; and an avuncular apothecary. But secrets abound in this foggy underworld where spectacle is king and nothing is quite what it seems. Blending darkness and light, history and folklore, Things in Jars is a spellbinding Gothic mystery that collapses the boundary between fact and fairy tale to stunning effect and explores what it means to be human in inhumane times"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women detectives $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210312010114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=989EF986830011EB840D63B52BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
