Solid 4.5, interesting to read after finishing the series as it takes place between books 1 & 2. Not quite as polished as the writing in the books, but it’s short, spooky and fun.

A fun, short read in the Lockwood and Co universe. But as a short story, nothing too important or critical happens.

A routine job for Lockwood & Co, we don't learn anything new about them team or the problem either. A bit pointless really.
