Lucas Carr went to Glenbury Hall, an old country manor house turned hotel. He signed in at reception, took his key, and went upstairs to his room. But he never got there. Somehow he vanished along the way, with not a single clue to suggest what might have happened to him.
Lucas belonged to the same mysterious organization that employs Ishmael and Penny, so they are sent in to solve the mystery. But when they arrive at grim and isolated Glenbury Hall, they discover it has a reputation as one of the most haunted old houses in England. None of the usual headless monks or walled-up nuns—just stories of lost souls that dance with the statues in the grounds; doors that won’t stay shut, and rooms that aren’t always there; and something that prowls the house in the early hours, endlessly searching. They say . . . it crawls.
Does Lucas’ disappearance have something to do with the organization or the Hall’s haunted past?

The stories of this series have been kind of similar. Locked room mysteries in a haunted or eerie setting. This one was no exception. Haven't heard if there will be more novels in this series, but I am looking forward to more.
Nice Narration Even with New Narrator

Unsure why they would have replaced Gildart Jackson, but they failed in doing so.
The new narrator oddly fails to hit a normal speech pattern or speed, and it really detracts from the story.
I enjoyed all the previous Ishmael Jones books, and desperately hope they don't continue with this narrator.

The new narrator is just terrible. For the first couple of chapters, all the voices sound exactly the same. He does get mildly better later on, but wow, it's like he's reading the text for the first time and, just like you, he doesn't know who's speaking till he gets to the "said Arthur" part.
Plus for some reason
he talks like
he doesn't like the author's
punctuation.
The story itself is the weakest in the series (so far). Very little happens, and it's mostly the two leads just trying to persuade the reader this uninteresting and uneventful bed & breakfast place is actually the most interesting spooky manor house.
These books have always been as much about the journey as the ending, but this one lacks the usual hallmarks of the series. I can't really be more specific than that without spoilers, other than to say it's lacking the usual mid-book twist/reveal and the entire plot is both pedestrian and mundane.
Sorry everyone, It's all my fault...
