A missing child. A detective like no other. A world where the extraordinary hides in plain sight.
Victorian London is a city of collectors and criminals, but few cases have ever been as strange as this. When Christabel Berwick, the secret daughter of a reclusive nobleman, is kidnapped, detective Bridie Devine is called to solve the mystery. The child is no ordinary girl—whispers of her supernatural abilities have drawn the attention of dangerous men.
Determined to find her, Bridie dives into the city’s murky underworld, where science and superstition blur. With an eccentric housemaid, a tattooed ghost, and a wise apothecary as allies, she must untangle a web of secrets—some of which lead straight to her own past.
A mesmerizing blend of mystery, folklore, and Victorian gothic intrigue, Things in Jars is a spellbinding tale of the strange and the forgotten.
