Reviews

"Don't miss this series! Loved it from the start."
Rick Riordan

"Stroud's prose is evocative . . . his humour is also perfectly judged, never undermining the terror, but allowing the reader to bask in the camaraderie of London's smallest, most slapdash and unlikely ghost-hunting agency, the eponymous Lockwood and Co."
The Times Literary Supplement

"An expertly crafted concoction of gut-wrenching fear and side-splitting hilarity"
Sci-fi Bulletin

"The Empty Grave is a fitting and extraordinary end to a remarkable series; I am very envious of those who are yet to discover Lockwood & Co. for themselves."

"The arrival of a new book in Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood and Co series cheers up my entire year."
The Evening Standard

"Stroud's nerve-shredding ghouls, laconic hilarity an intelligent character development make him a must for fiction aficionados with an iron nerve."
The Guardian
