This came together well as an ending to the series. There were a couple of surprises - Charlie's sister, the identity of The Dire King (I pretty much figured this out), and a few loose ends that were never wrapped up - Douglas stays a duck? Overall, though, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. ...
This is a series that I really enjoy, and it's hard to believe it's taken me this long to pick up the last two books! Abigail Rook and Jackaby are still hard at work as the only paranormal detectives in New Fiddleham, and in this installment of the series they are going to solve a murder - the murde...
Oh my goodness, this series is so much fun! I loved this second book every bit as much as the first. It was great to see Abigail assert herself more and get to flex her paleontology muscles and get a glimpse of what might have been had her first fateful dig not failed so miserably. Still, I can’t be...
So it may help to read the first one in order to grasp a bit of understanding of the character relationships and the overall plot (there’s a main one underneath the layers here) ***Possible spoilers here you’ve been warned*** I loved the first one, really liked the characters and Jackaby’s quirk...
This book was an unexpected delight. It’s nothing new or groundbreaking; just your standard Sherlockian detective novel with a supernatural twist. But goodness me, it’s fun! And full of memorable characters, both living and formerly living, human and formerly human. Jackaby is adorably insufferable ...
Back to New Fiddleham, New England with Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R.F. Jackaby, supernatural investigator. From shape shifters disguised as kitten-fish to a dig for dinosaurs and a great of suspicious deaths, this book has a lot going on. But, in the end, it all ties together. I lik...
Jenny Cavanaugh, the ghostly lady of 926 Augur Lane, has enlisted the investigative services of her fellow residents to solve a decade-old murder—her own. Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, Detective R. F. Jackaby, dive into the cold case, starting with a search for Jenny’s fiancé, who went mi...
Reading “Ghostly Echoes” could be captured best, I think, using the metaphor of the teenager. The book is at the part in the series where the initial giddiness and adrenaline of the first book has worn off, and the tougher questions and plot nuances begin coming to light. Unlike it’s immediate prede...
Beastly Bones is the sequel to Jackaby by William Ritter and continues to follow Jackaby and his assistant, Abigail Rook as they solve yet another supernatural mystery. While I felt the first book was engaging from the start, this one took a few chapters to get into. However, that being said, once i...
While not nearly as fantastic as Jackaby, I still greatly enjoyed revisiting these characters and their world. There's still murder and mystery and ducks , with the addition of a frustratingly feminist reporter and also fish kittens and some deuced odd bones. We revisit old friends and gain some new...
