Summary: It's the BEST book i have ever read! :-)
Review: Sincerely this is the best book I have ever read! Shadow in the North has everything from mystery to adventure, from adventure to romance.

Sally Lockhart is now 22. Even though a woman,in the year 1878, she has a business and a mind of her own. When one of her clients lose a large sum of money Sally is determined to find out what happened. Like always her friends Jim and Fred are there to help. Together the three of them embark in an unpredictable adventure which leads to heartache but happiness too.

Philip Pullman surely found a way to keep you wanting to read this book. He introduces the characters in such a way that you cry and cheer for them as they face obstacles. That makes you want to keep reading to see what's going to happen until you find it is the best book you have ever read.

The thing that I like the most about the book is the courage that Sally Lockhart has to fight for her self and what she believes in.(Even though it took her a while to actually realize she could be in love and still be her own person.)

This book is really, really good, although my words may not have described it well. I MOST DEFINITELY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading a mystery, adventure or romance book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the trilogy
Review: Philip Pullman seems to delight in torturing his readers by making us love his characters entirely and then throwing them into the most heart wrenching scenarios imaginable. This book is a prime example. Sally, Frederick, and Jim team up once again to solve a mystery and everything is filled with adventure and excitement until tragedy strikes. Be prepared for tears and a beautiful bittersweet ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome book!
Review: This book was sooooo good! It is much better than the first one! If you have read Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials and liked them, you will also like this series! I give it 2 thumbs up! ...

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A thrill!
Review: Wow was this book good. The shadow in the North is a thrilling mystery novel about two cases and the link between them. In this story Sally has matured into a woman and owns her own buisness as a financial consultant. When a lady comes to her after losing 3 thousand pounds Sally is shocked. The stock she told her to invest in was very safe and profitable. Meanwhile Fredric and Jim get involved in another case. After Jim saves the life of a Scottish medium he realizes that there is more to his story than fake physic visions. But when these two seemingly different cases intertwine with one another the three charecters may discovered that they're involved in something much more complicated than they expected.

In my opinion this book had the certain something that the first one lacked (not that that book was bad or anything). It's fast paced and exciting. I nearly creid when you-know-what happened! If your a fan of the Sally Lockheart Trilogy I reccomend you read this. I'll be sure to read the last one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: reeeeely good
Review: I read all the other books in the series and I thought they were all brilliant, and this on was the best and so was the ending. However. if you wanted to read it, you'd have to read all the others first or nothing would make sense.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Once you've gotten into it, you won't be able to put it down
Review: This intriguing mystery, second in the Lockhary trilogy, is the best yet. Don't be intimidated by the length (more so for the the third book), it's fascinating and goes back quickly after really getting into the story. Always gripping, sometimes sad and sometimes witty, this is a masterful work of literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The heart wrenching sequel to The Ruby In The Smoke.
Review: In the second thrilling novel of Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart mystery trilogy, both suspense and terrifying intrigue are thrust into a spectacular but heartbreaking adventure that makes The Shadow In The North so intense. Sally Lockhart, now twenty two and still bold and daring, has a settled life of her own, and as an honest business she becomes widely known for her trust in other people's investments. Now there's word about a company called North Star Castings , who is said to be stealing people's investments and developing secrets that are bound to be destroying people's lives. Sally needs to get to the bottom of this mystery, along with the help of her old friends, Fred and Jim. But the danger she puts herself into is terrifying. Sally begins to unravel a mystery so twisted and evil, she alone may not be able to save her future, and everyone else's. For the lurking danger is so great and conspired, it will cost more then Sally Lockhart could have ever dreamed. Written with the absolute clarity and beauty Philip Pullman has elaborated, The Shadow In The North is darker and more powerful then what I enjoyed thoroughly, The Ruby In The Smoke. The mystery is absorbing and deep, and the heroine Sally Lockhart is unforgettable. I can't wait to read the conclusion of this thrilling trilogy, The Tiger In The Well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of the Trilogy
Review: The Shadow in the North, the third book in the Sally Lockhart Trilogy, is the best in the series. The book is wonderfully written with and excellent, but complicated, plot.Six years later Sally Lockhart is a 21 year old financial consultant and Fredrick Garland and 20-something photographer and private detective become involved in a mystery or murder and fraud. Sally refuses to accept that her relationship with Fred is becoming something more then friendship.... You'll be smiling through your tears!!! Its a must read that you can't put down. You'll probably end up reading it a dozen times.The ending is sad , a happier ending may have been better, but its one more obsticle Sally must overcome in her life. The Shadow in the North is absouloutly the best in the series, not saying the others were bad they too were excellent. I recomend reading the books in order , their more enjoyable that way!! But no matter how you read them make sure you read The Shadow in the North!!

Rating: 5 stars
