This is the fifth and (probably) the last in the Lockwood and Co series. In this one Anthony, Holly, Lucy, George and Kips are ready and poised to find the real cause of "the problem." There are no lengths they will not take, nor any place they will not go to find out the truth. Their courage is not without cost. They are facing powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets.I can't really write any better summary without giving away spoilers. Suffice it to say that this was a fitting and satisfying end to the series. It seems that Stroud decides to give each of his characters their time in the limelight. Kips, Holly, George, Lockwood and Lucy each get their moment to shine, and even Inspector Barns, Flo Bones, and the Skull do their bit. Stroud is such an amazing plotter, and also does such a good job of building suspense. But most of all, we love his characters, and this book shows how much he cared about each one as well. If you haven't read this series yet, do yourself a favor and pick up book one. (2017,437 p.)
