Like millions of other people, I watched “Lockwood & Co” when it debuted on Netflix and got hooked. Once I found out that it was based on a YA book series, I immediately put in a hold request for the first two books.

The second book in the series, “The Whispering Skull,” builds on the world established in the first book. It sees the team of Anthony Lockwood, George Cubbins, and Lucy Carlyle, growing their small psychic agency as they help keep London safe from The Problem—ghosts terrorizing the city every night. 

We also see Lucy’s Talents develop exponentially over the course of the book. Her Listening is getting better and more accurate and she begins to connect with George’s favorite item to experiment on—an ancient skull kept in a Ghost Jar. 

The book continues to solve a primary case, as well as further an overarching mystery that the team is working to unravel.

For those that are interested, the second half Netflix series covers “The Whispering Skull” and is very accurate to the book’s plot.
