In this “miraculous and thrilling” (Diane Setterfield, #1 New York Times bestselling author) mystery for fans of The Essex Serpent and The Book of Speculation, Victorian London comes to life as an intrepid female sleuth wades through a murky world of collectors and criminals to recover a remarkable child. Bridie Devine—flame-haired, pipe-smoking detective extraordinaire—is confronted with the most baffling puzzle yet: the kidnapping of Christabel Berwick, secret daughter of Sir Edmund Athelstan Berwick, and a peculiar child whose reputed supernatural powers have captured the unwanted attention of collectors in this age of discovery. Winding her way through the sooty streets of Victorian London, Bridie won’t rest until she finds the young girl, even if it means unearthing secrets about her 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 nothing is quite what it seems. Blending darkness and light, Things in Jars is a stunning, “richly woven tapestry of fantasy, folklore, and history” (Booklist, starred review) that explores what it means to be human in inhumane times.
The setting of the book is in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western Virginia. It concerns the settling of an old man's estate by its heirs, his two sons. The two sons expected it to be a very simple matter to handle the disposition of the small estate consisting of a two room mountain cabin and a few acres of land on the side of a mountain. Little did they dream what a hard and exciting task it would be. Mystery and mayhem occurred at "Pop's cabin" as the two brothers referred to it. They found themselves involved in "wild west" excitement through no fault of theirs. Never in their wildest dreams would they have expected to encounter such excitement as occurred to them in their efforts to settle the estate centered around "Pop's cabin". The reader will be wondering what will happen next to the two brothers.
