About this listen
When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in....
For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions.
Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead she finds herself joining the smallest most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood.
When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive.
Set in a city stalked by spectres, The Screaming Staircase is the first in a chilling new series full of suspense, humour and truly terrifying ghosts. Your nights will never be the same again....

Much better than expected
Kept ignoring this as a recommendation as described as YA. It is YA but still very enjoyable and I was fully engrossed. I am looking forward already to listening to book 2.

A story full of spirit. (the pun very much intentional)!!!
Pretty impressive. I didn't realise this was a book written for the young adult category until I was half way through, the first couple of chapters really were surprisingly frightening. The ending was slightly predictable to me but I have the unfair advantage of being a writer myself. Over all a enjoyable book for anyone, young or old. Thank you Mr Stroud.

just brilliant
Loke I suspect many, I came to this from the TV series (which I really enjoyed).
This is a slightly different story to that but don't worry, it's better.
Moves a great pace, the characters are excellent and, oddly for the subject matter, relatable.
Performance is excellent too and makes it even better.

Brilliant book
Was introduced to Lockwood & Co by the recent TV adaption. The show was really enjoyable but the book is even better.

Good fun and well read
I've started on this series after finding a guilty pleasure with the, sadly, cut too soon Netflix series. it's just enjoyable and easy to listen to for a bit of light entertainment, and a little bit creepy:)
