|title=Dodger of the Dials
|author=James Benmore
|rating=5
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=Dodger is back! And oh, how I’ve missed him! Benmore’s excellent debut novel [[Dodger by James Benmore|Dodger]] left me hungry for more Dickensian escapades and it was with greedy anticipation that I began the sequel, ''Dodger of the Dials'', eager to see what our eponymous hero had been up to in the two years since his last adventure. Quite a lot, it would seem, as Dodger has reclaimed the coveted spot of ‘'Top Sawyer' and has a gang of his very own, as well as the heart of the fair Lily, the new lady in his life.

|summary=Hugo and Elin are settling down to life at home in Hiram Hall now Hugo is back from the Boer War. He refuses to speak about his experiences in Africa but carries the psychological effects. However, appearances count for a lot so they both continue to run the house, gardens and staff while Elin tries to ignore the deficiencies in their marriage. She succeeds as well but then two things change her outlook: the arrival of daring adventurer Lady Margaret ('Mouse' to her friends) and the less welcome outbreak of World War I. Both will leave their indelible mark so that, for Hugo, Elin and many others around that time, there'll be no going back.
