My reading slump continues, and not even a much anticipated sequel was enough to hold my interest. I absolutely adored the first Sammy and Facey book, Some Rise By Sin, and even though the follow up has the same characters, cant, history and mystery, I was bored. Probably a me problem and not the fault of the book. A heist on behalf of two familiar enemies uncovers a murder and finds Sammy, Facey and Rosamund in amongst the servants of an upper class house, trying to protect a child's life and recover missing jewels, all in a bid to save the life of Pure John. This episode in 1830s London was brought to us by the Blue Death (cholera) and Dandy Horses (prototype bicycles). Just wish I'd been in a better mood to enjoy the story. ( )
