"The Shadow in the North"

Although Philip Pullman's novels are available in paperback, I haven't read any of them. However, I've watched the two DVD's based on his books starring Billie Piper who is truly believable as Sally Lockhart, a woman living in the 1870's who is independent -- not a common womanly trait in those days. As Sally is trying to help one of her financial clients recover some money she's lost in an investment gone wrong, her friends, Fred and Jim, are investigating an entirely different case in their work as private detectives. As they learn there is a connection between the two investigations, danger arises for them and everyone around them. I'm disappointed that this appears to be the last DVD available based on the Sally Lockhart mysteries -- maybe I'll need to read the books!
