“Tread lightly, Miss Rook,” warned Mr. Jackaby. “It would not do to push Miss Cavanaugh too far or too fast.” Jenny Cavanaugh, the ghostly lady of 926 Augur Lane, has enlisted the investigative services of her fellow residents to solve a decade-old murder--her own. Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, dive into the cold case, starting with a search for Jenny’s fiancé, who went missing the night she died. But when a new, gruesome murder closely mirrors the events of ten years prior, Abigail and Jackaby realize that Jenny’s case isn’t so cold after all. Fantasy and folklore mix with mad science as Abigail’s race to unravel the mystery leads her across the cold cobblestones of nineteenth-century New England, down to the mythical underworld, and deep into her colleagues’ grim histories to battle the most deadly foe she has ever faced.Ghostly Echoes, the third installment in the New York Times bestselling Jackaby series, features its much-loved quirky, courageous characters and sly humor in the scariest and most exciting volume yet.

“My brick. My house. My whole wide world.” She slid through the demolished wall. “My turn.”Yes Jenny Cavanaugh was not playing with these hoes. And the pettiness inside of me is here for it. This time around Jackaby and the gang are on the case for one of their own. The lovable and affable Jenny Cavanaugh. The “ghostly lady” of 926 Augur Lane. A decade ago she was murdered in a grisly and horrific manner and now she’s ready to confront her demons and find out who did the deed and why.For those who have been with Jackaby from the beginning, you can appreciate Author William Ritter’s, care and dedication to making memorable and endearing characters.Jackaby—The quirky Sherlock Holmes/ Paranormal detective.Abigail Rooks—The witty and strong-willed assistantJenny Cavanaugh—The confidant and bringer of peace.Simply put—the dream team. With each installment in the series, the more you get attached to the characters. The more you wish the series will continue. The more you wish you can apply for a position and be a part of this amazing cast. Seriously, Jackaby, are you hiring?All joking aside I think Ghostly Echoes has to be my favorite. I just love the development and growth of Jenny. You get to see her backstory and history, while your heartbreaks at the senseless death that was set upon her. I won’t spoil anything for you but Mrs. Cavanaugh is one tough ghost whose, bad side you don’t want to cross.With plenty of bad guys and a riveting mysterious, Ghostly Echoes is a fast paced read with a satisfying end that leads me to believe this is not the end to this delightful series. A series that I feel is underappreciated in the YA community. A series that I want everyone to jump on board and read.
“I was officially living out the pages of the penny dreadfuls I used to hide under my mattress from my mother. The heroes in those battered novels, I could not help but recall with a knot in my throat, did not always make it to the final page.”Ghostly Echoes is the third installment of the Jackaby series, and it doesn’t seem to be losing any of its charm.As the title suggests this installment focuses more on our ghostly resident, Jenny, and what brought about her untimely demise. Jenny and Abigail’s characters have grown marvelously since first meeting in Jackaby, and this story gives a great view of the bond and friendship they have formed over their time together.Detectives are usually hard to read or understand and Jackaby is no exception to that case, but in this installment the reader is allowed a glimpse of the man behind the name of R.F.Jackaby. Being a big mystery all on his own, the author giving a glimpse into Jackaby’s past and more of his present self made his character more relatable and gave new meanings to a few of his actions.Abigail and Jackaby’s relationship has been my favorite since picking up the first book. Too close to be employer/employee, but not at all romantic- it seems like Jackaby could almost be a friend of Abigail’s older brother. He’s caring in his own way, but always leaves the ultimate decision up to Abigail- she is smart and can think for herself, after all.The plot, as stated, follows the murder of our resident ghost, Jenny, which is also tied to more recent murders and a dark plot decades in the making.
