* The book is predominantly told from [[Jenny Flint]]'s perspective, with some sections told through the eyes of other characters such as [[Thursday (The Crimson Horror)|Jonas Thursday]], [[Strax]], and [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]]. | |||
* The first three chapters are dedicated to an unrelated case in which Jenny first meets the Doctor. This appears to contradict ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' in which Vastra says that the Doctor saved Jenny's life the first time they met. Jenny should therefore already be familiar with the Doctor when they meet in this story. | |||
* The book introduces a mysterious associate of Mrs. Gillyflower's named Dr. Fetch who has a mechanical arm. | |||
* Vastra's comment to Strax that Jenny would find the Doctor by ignoring keep out signs and going through locked doors is given to Jenny herself before she parts company with them. | |||
* The urchin [[Thomas Thomas]] shouts encouragement to Strax as he climbs the chimney, calling him "potato head". | |||
* The Doctor gives Vastra and Strax perception filters before they leave to allow them to pass unnoticed on Earth. | |||
* The last scene with Clara and the Maitland children is omitted. | |||
