I loved this! I loved getting to see more of Jenny and her story. We get a little bit more on Jackaby's history, which was sadder than I expected. I really love these characters and this series definitely deserves more love. This one explored more of the darker characters involved, and supernatural journeys. I can't wait to see where the next one goes. I just hope they all survive...
Third entry in the Jackaby series features investigation into the murder of Jenny, our protaganist's ghost companion.
Still love Jackaby and Miss Rook, and it was a great adventure. I liked learning more of Jenny's story. This one seemed to me to be less of a stand alone and more part of the bigger overall mystery that they are trying to solve.
I didn't love the writing as much as I did the second book. I thought from Jackaby to Beastly Bones had really grown in writing style but there were a lot of overused words in Ghostly Echoes that was bothersome and a few places where the action slipped a bit and I had to look back to catch up and make sure I hadn't missed anything.
The story did progress rather well though!! I love where this overall series arc is going and I always appreciate being able to look back and see what had been planned from book one that the reader didn't always know.
I'm also really glad that we got to know more about Jenny, her past, and her role at Augur Lane.
Looking forward to book four!!
Review as posted on The Book Addict's Guide 3/17/17: GHOSTLY ECHOES was a bit different all together with one of the main characters being involved in the mystery instead of someone from the outside. I really loved how much more personal the mystery became — to Jackaby and Abigail as well as the reader — and where the whole series went! Things really escalated in this book and I really appreciated how so many things came full circle here.
The friendships in this book were stepped up even more and I love how much tighter this group got! The different elements in this mystery were also top notch and I think this was my favorite book of the series!

Another solid installment of the Jackaby series. I enjoyed this one more than the second one, but I still think the first one was my favorite so far.
I really liked how Jenny was such a big part of this story. She is one of my favorite characters. The first 2 books really made her murder such a mystery, it was really fun to find out what happened to her and how it was something bigger than it seemed from the first 2.
I liked the returning characters and there was a good amount of new characters that I thought lent a lot to the story.
I really like how everything that happened lead up to the final book and I can't wait to see what happens.
