Things in Jars by Jess KiddMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book has so much atmospheric appeal that it was a pleasure to read and imagine the events unfolding. It centers around Bridie Divine, who is a women investigating the disappearance of 6-year-old Christobel from her wealthy family's estate.
There is so much depth to this story, set in Victorian England and giving all the feeling of an old-fashioned "Who done It?" type of mystery except there are also fairytale themes and magical realism throughout.
One of my favorite connections is between Bridie and Ruby., a deceased boxer, who assists her with the investigation. I would love to see these two in future books by Jess Kidd.
I began by reading this in physical format then listened to the audiobook, which was fabulously narrated by Jacqueline Milne. She has such an expressive voice and range of accents that I found myself listening and reading together once I was able to choose the format. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
