Lockwood & Co. The Creeping Shadow

By: Jonathan Stroud

Narrated by: Emily Bevan

After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative, hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency wants them--and only them--to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover. What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But, in a shocking cliffhanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along. . . .

Outstanding series!

This is really a great series! I definitely recommend it for both kids and adults. I can't wait until the next book is released!

Great story, great performance

Really great job on the voices; I always knew who was speaking even before it was stated.

Best narrator ever

Well written and well performed. I wish i were an English teacher. This would be required reading. Guess I'll have to wait for grand kids.
Perfect series for middle school or high school, or if you're an old writer like me who just loves a good ghost story.

my favorite so far

absolutely fantastic! everything from the story to the narration was spot on. highly recommend it.

sooo glad to be back

Read the first 3 then drifted through a few dozen other works. Returning to Stroud in book 4, so glad to be back. Superb story with a great narrator. 5 thumbs up.
