Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz

4.0

I am officially addicted to this series, really enjoying Oliver Chris's narration, and I think this is a bit of a step up from books 2 & 3 so I'm really looking forward to continuing on. Alex is a great proactive protagonist, driving the plot with his brave attempts to save the day but continuously finding himself in scary dire straits, and I think in this book we're beginning to get a little more depth to his feelings about his life, family and so on. The bad guys have so far basically been more or less one-dimensional cackling villains but in this the main villain is at least given a smidge more back story & motivation than in the previous two books, and Oliver Chris's performance of both him and his sidekick is entertaining.
