I always thought Jenny would be a force to reckoned with once she got going; it was lovely to see in this latest adventure of the Jackaby detective gang. I also enjoyed learning more about Jackaby's back story as well; looking forward to learning more in the next book. And, as always with this series, I need the next book NOW!
WOW! Yes, there is a bit of a cliffhanger-- the ending is coming and I am so excited.
I'm so proud of Jenny. I just have so many feelings for this characters and this amazing world.

Jenny Cavanaugh, the ghostly landlord of 826 Augur Lane, has enlisted the services of her detective-agency tenants to solve a decade-old murder--her own.
After reading the first two books in this series and finding them delightful, sadly I found Ghostly Echoes to be a disappointment. I'm not sure what happened but the charm and humor from the other two books was greatly missing in this one. Maybe it was that this one is darker than the others and that didn't leave room for humor. Whatever the reason, it was just a rather dull read that I found hard to get through. To top it off the author decided to add in a modern day social issue that was out of place. I would rather the soapboxing be left out next time.
I did like that we learn more about Jackaby's background in the book, but I can't say I would really recommend reading this one other than to just get through the rest of the series. There is still one more book in the series and after feeling so disappointed in this one, I'm not sure if I'm going to read it or not.

I liked this one more than the second book. I wish we were introduced to more esoteric mythology rather than just ghosts, vampires, and the underworld. There was some good foreshadowing, connecting some loose ends, and I like how it’s building up to the next book which I look forward to reading.
