Of all the Tackleford Mystery Kids, Lottie was the one most likely to go pro as an investigator – nominated for Teen Detective of the Year, even if she never broke the 18 under 18 list.

I am somewhat thrown by her claim to have met Miyamoto-Sensei in Vegas, when Wicked Things shows her first encountering him in London, and then he got stabbed. Is this a result of Jack messing with history? A partial decanonising of Wicked Things? Did I misread WT and it was set in the Cockney Quarter of Vegas?
