Lucy Carlisle is working as a freelancer when our story begins. She is making decent money, but she misses the camaraderie of her old dependable team at Lockwood and Co. She's also a bit lonely even if she won't admit it to herself.
When Lockwood shows up asking her to consult on a job, she cautiously accepts. After all, she is still worried that her gifts will bring disaster to her two closest friends.
Soon the team, including Quill Kipps, is off on another dangerous expedition to investigate an intense haunting in a small town in the middle of nowhere. What they uncover there is shocking and revelatory.
As always, the pacing and story-telling are perfect in this series. The characters feel like old friends, and the banter is fun. There are plenty of creepy ghosts, explosions, and insidious bad guys to around, and there is a huge revelation at the very end which hints to the very heart of the ghost problem. Could our team finally be on track to discover the origins of the problem?
The Creeping Shadow is an excellent addition to an excellent series. Kudos to Jonathan Stroud. Highly recommended!
