Neil Palmer Report post Posted August 28, 2017 I read a book sometime ago that I think would be perfect for my daughter now but I cannot remember the title or author. The story involved a young woman who solved the mystery. It was set in the 1800s (?), something to do with a photography business, a factory that makes guns and arms (but shouldn't be). I remember it being fantastic and have an image of the factory as if it was some steampunk masterpiece - please help if you can. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madeleine Report post Posted August 29, 2017 Was it Philip Pullman's "Ruby in the Smoke", that had a factory which was making guns and arms (illegally) and a young heroine called Sally Lockhart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Palmer Report post Posted August 29, 2017 The synopsis doesn't sound right. Although I think it will be a good book to recommend anyway. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Palmer Report post Posted August 29, 2017 Having said that, it could be the Shadow in the North! I just read the wrong one first..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madeleine Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Yep I wasn't sure which book had the Steam Gun in it, so you're probably right, part of the same series though. I think I got them the wrong way round too, it's a long time since I read them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
