**Named an 'Amazing Audiobook for Young Adults 2015' by the Young Adult Library Services Association**
"The spine-tingling performance of Lyons' narration will keep listeners on the edge of their seat." – YALSA committee
"Stroud is a genius" Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series.
Ghosts and ghouls beware! London's smallest, shabbiest and most talented psychic detection agency is back.
Life is never exactly peaceful for Lockwood & Co. Lucy and George are trying to solve the mystery of the talking skull trapped in their ghost jar, while Lockwood is desperate for an exciting new case.
Things seem to be looking up when the team is called to Kensal Green Cemetery to investigate the grave of a sinister Victorian doctor. Strange apparitions have been seen there, and the site must be made safe. As usual, Lockwood is confident; as usual, everything goes wrong – a terrible phantom is unleashed, and a dangerous object is stolen from the coffin.
Lockwood & Co must recover the relic before its power is unleashed, but it's a race against time. Their obnoxious rivals from the Fittes agency are also on the hunt. And if that's not bad enough, the skull in the ghost-jar is stirring again...
The author of the blockbuster BARTIMAEUS sequence delivers another humorous and chilling instalment in the critically acclaimed LOCKWOOD & CO. series.

      Narrator Katie Lyons smoothly takes the reigns in Stroud's second ghost-detecting escapade. Psychic agents Lockwood, George, and Lucy are challenged by rival agents, a deadly mystical mirror, and a spirit trapped in a jar. Their investigation has no shortage of creepy moments, and Lyons meets each one head-on, eliciting shivers from listeners. Lyons is skilled at maintaining a breakneck pace while also capturing the group dynamic--Lucy's no-nonsense narrative, George's snarky comments, and Lockwood's cool and confident exterior. Lyons's flexibility with emotions is well suited to Stroud's talent for mixing the gruesome with the laugh-out-loud funny. Her perfect rendering of the skull's unearthly whispers will pique the interest of any fan of macabre adventures. M.F.T. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
