Lockwood & Co - The Whispering Skull, by Jonathan Stroud

Stranger than usual happenings in Kensal Green cemetery see Lockwood & Co investigating an historic mystery of a sinister Victorian-era Doctor who was involved in some very nasty and dangerous experiments. Independent teen agents Anthony, Lucy and George again clash rapiers with Quill Kipps and his team from the establishment Fittes agency in a bid to prove their superior skills. But sometimes your enemy’s enemy can be your friend, or at least your ally, when lives are at stake. The young ghostbusters are just scratching the surface of what looks like a major conspiracy among those who profit most from ‘the problem’ that has been plaguing the country for 50 years. This makes it even more of a pity that Netflix has opted not to continue with its series beyond this second book. In a nice cliff-hanger at the end Anthony Lockwood reveals a family secret, which should make the next book even more interesting.
