The Whispering Skull is a solid continuation of the Lockwood & Co. stories. I love the development of Lucy and George's friendship. They're far more prone to banter than to genuine argument like they had been in the first half of the first book. I guessed a few of the twists before they happened, but a few surprised me. I especially enjoyed the bit with George's glasses.
