After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency, wants them - and only them - to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover.
What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But in a shocking cliff-hanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along.

Critic reviews
"Emily Bevan’s narration is as spine-tingling as the adventures in this fourth Lockwood & Co. story.... Bevan’s rendition of the wry skull is laugh-out-loud perfect. Also spot-on is the suspense she brings to the drama of a threatening spirit, the sinister forces behind it, and Lucy’s joy at being reunited with her friends." (AudioFile)

From the very first page, I was drawn into the familiar, yet evolving, world of Lucy Carlyle, Anthony Lockwood, and George Cubbins, as they continue their work as psychic investigators. Stroud's descriptive prose brings their ghostly encounters and the chilling atmosphere of their world to life. The introduction of new and intriguing characters, such as the mysterious Penelope Fittes and the enigmatic Marissa Fittes, adds depth to the already enthralling plot.
The Creeping Shadow showcases character development at its finest. As Lucy Carlyle continues to explore her psychic abilities, her personal growth and newfound independence is a testament to Stroud's ability to create relatable and captivating characters. Lockwood and George, too, experience notable growth, both individually and as part of the team. Their friendship and camaraderie are heartwarming, making the reader truly care about their fates.
Stroud has also excelled in creating a unique, immersive setting. The alternate version of London, filled with supernatural occurrences and secret societies, is eerily believable. The rich lore surrounding the source of hauntings and the various agencies dealing with these spectral threats is a testament to Stroud's world-building skills.
The plot of The Creeping Shadow is an intricate web of twists and turns, with just the right balance of suspense and action. The pacing is perfect, gradually building up to an electrifying climax that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Throughout the book, Stroud skillfully weaves in subtle hints and clues, allowing the reader to piece together the puzzle along with the characters.
In conclusion, Jonathan Stroud's The Creeping Shadow is a standout addition to the Lockwood & Co. series, delivering a compelling blend of mystery, adventure, and the supernatural. The novel showcases Stroud's exceptional storytelling and character development, making it an unforgettable read. Fans of the series will not be disappointed, and newcomers will undoubtedly be drawn into this captivating world. I eagerly await the next installment, confident that it will be as mesmerizing and thrilling as its predecessors
