The Creeping Shadow

Lockwood & Co., Book 4

De: Jonathan Stroud

Narrado por: 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 cliff-hanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Emily Bevan’s narration is as spine-tingling as the adventures in this fourth Lockwood & Co. story.... Bevan’s rendition of the wry skull is laugh-out-loud perfect. Also spot-on is the suspense she brings to the drama of a threatening spirit, the sinister forces behind it, and Lucy’s joy at being reunited with her friends." (AudioFile)

listened in a day

Just keeps getting better with every book! I am well pleased and at ease with the new reader now after she has performed this 4th book.
I just don't know how I'm going to wait till the next book!

Fantastic!

Great from beginning to end. Narration is really wonderful. This is one of my favorite series.

To good to put away!

Every chapter made me hang on the end of my chair. The description was perfect and it made me feel like I was there in the room every time. Plus the relationship between Lockwood and Lucy makes me melt.

Brilliant work

Jonathan Stroud crafts a great story and builds the magical and charming world of Lockwood & Co. with a relatable narrator in Lucy Carlisle. Lockwood & Co.’s adventures are stories that I enjoy experiencing again and again.

Great Books!

I have been enjoying this book series so much! This one does not disappoint. Go Lucy!

love this series

I enjoyed the characters and I thought the narrator did a great job.. I always knew who was talking.. skull is my favorite.

5 Spooky Stars for The Creeping Shadow!!

I love this series and The Creeping Shadow is another fun and exciting story with the Lockwood & Co gang. This is the fourth book in the Lockwood & Co. series and you need to read the previous books to understand the storyline. The Creeping Shadow picks up where the shocking ending of the previous book left off. I loved seeing Lucy, Lockwood, George and Holly together again. At first their interaction was tense but gradually turned into their familiar camaraderie that makes them stand apart from other agencies. It is clear to see how important each member is to the team and to the family they have become. The story has everything I have come to expect from this series: a hair-raising mystery, edge of your seat action and hilarious moments with team. Author Jonathan Stroud is a talented writer and gives fans another shocking ending. I can’t wait for the next book!

This is a Middle Grade series but I highly recommend this series to readers of all ages. This is a fun, exciting story with a group of friends you can’t help from falling in love with.

5 Star Audiobook Review
Emily Bevin returns as narrator for this series and does another amazing performance. She brings all the characters to life and added excitement to the story. I loved how she captured the sarcasm of George and Skull, and the awkward moments between Holly and Lucy. This is my favorite series to listen to. I feel as if I’m in front of a campfire listening to ghost stories. I hope Ms. Bevin returns for the next book.

great book gets better and better

cliffhanger ending and now used to the narrator, great performance. switching narrators earlier in the series made for a dislike of the newer performance but after Hollow Boy we now have continuity of narrator which is better

Fantastic Book Amazing series

From first book it drew me in! I didn’t realize it was by an author I already loved before I was past the 2nd book!! Will have them all and all the others by Jonathan Stroud that I didn’t realize were available! Highly recommend! I burned through 3 credits in record time. None of these books were short or medium length. Very hardy stories and characters! Highly recommend! I question anyone that would even mention these books weren’t worth every credit and the price of purchase at full price! Loved them all!!

So good!

The first book this reader read, threw me off. But now that I’m used to her voice, it’s really good!
The book is amazing! I can’t wait to hear what happens next!
Highly recommend to anyone 12 and up. It maybe a bit scary for littles. I found some bits myself. Really well written and well read.
