Lockwood & Co: The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud (audiobook)

 genre: paranormal, middle grade/young adult


Book Four of the Lockwood & Co. Series

So, Lucy is on her own now, for reasons that make complete sense to her - but when her former colleagues over at Lockwood and Co. have a case that could use her expertise, why would she say no?  And as the plot thickens in this really fast-moving and interesting story, we find Lucy not just battling a cannibal ghost but also getting involved in a crazy haunted village whose visitors raise the kinds of questions that even George can't quickly answer.  

OH this was a good listen!  I missed my skull and the more I listen to his snark the more I need him in my life :). This is a THICK plot with lots of new developments and good spooks.  Some twists really surprised me!  I like the maturing relationship between Lockwood and Lucy.  The narrator is still so good, in my opinion, and I just cannot wait to find out what happens next.  Stroud has NOT let me down with this one and I'm even giving it five stars because if I want to listen to a thirteen hour book so much that I find a way to finish it in just over four days, then THAT is a good story.
