About this listen

After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Deveaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends.

But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: She’s become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades - the city’s secret ghost-fighting police - are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it’s too late.

In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Good fun

A great second instalment. I read this series as a teenager originally and returned to it now when I saw it on audiobook. The ending of this one is something has stuck with me for a long time, it is such a fabulous subversion of trope. The absurd definitely starts to heighten with this book, but it was still an enjoyable story.

Loses one star on the narration because the limited number of British accents starts to get a little repetitive, and in some places hard to tell characters apart. This is especially true for male characters. Callum does get more consistent though which is good!
