A review by oashackelford
Ghostly Echoes by William Ritter
4.0
Abigail Rook is a pretty good detective now. While she still can't see the things her employer Jackaby sees, she does notice the ordinary things that help propel their investigation forward. This time Jenny is finally ready to discover who killed her, and why she was killed, so the gang go about beginning to solve her murder and finding out who the pale-faced man is, and what he wants.
I loved this book a lot. I really like the wat that William Ritter weaves in fantasy elements and mythology to make the mysteries more interesting. I also like Abigail getting to really be the hero a lot in this volume as there are things that she can do that Jackaby can't and her bravery and willingness make her an invaluable member of their investigative team. I also like how much more depth we get for Jenny's character. The author really makes you care for her in this book, whereas in the first two she is kind of just there so that Abigail has someone to talk to about how weird Jackaby and sort out small details of the case.
I gave this volume four stars instead of five because I did love the last third of the book and it was really exciting but the first two thirds were really slow and I almost gave up on the book (not intentionally, I just wasn't picking it up as much as the first two.)
