Sally Lockhart Mysteries on DVD

williamsgwynfa [Highly rated reviewer] , 10/01/2008

this dvd is superb, and consists of the BBC adaption of Ruby in the Smoke from a series of novels by the award-winning author, Philip Pullman.

The stories follow the courageous and vibrant young heroine, Sally Lockhart, played here by award-winning actress, Billie Piper, who is a 16-year-old sleuth in the Victorian era.

Sally who is recently orphaned, is alone and being hunted by an assassin.

With her new friends - young photographer Frederick and quick-witted street child Jim - she must discover her father's killer.

Facing them is an unseen, murderous opponent and at the heart of it all, the deadly, blood-drenched secret of the ruby in the smoke.

A fabulous gritty drama, that is well worth watching and renting out.

If you like period mystery dramas then this is for you. Quite a good story - although a little slow in places - but overall I would recommend this title.

I will only recommend this title to put on during a Sunday afternoon nap.
