- If your reader is wary of peril, pause after the opening chapters to check how they feel about the danger; you can then decide together whether to continue.
- Themes
- Science and invention: Lyle is passionate about science and invention, and carries objects that explode while investigating. The story connects inventive tools with the investigation, but their broader value or consequences are not clear.
- Tess’s past: Tess is introduced as a pickpocket who has been caught and is described as reformed. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
