À propos de cet audio

 A sinister Problem has occurred in London: all nature of ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city, and they aren't exactly friendly. Only young people have the psychic abilities required to see-and eradicate-these supernatural foes. Many different Psychic Detection Agencies have cropped up to handle the dangerous work, and they are in fierce competition for business.

In The Screaming Staircase, the plucky and talented Lucy Carlyle teams up with Anthony Lockwood, the charismatic leader of Lockwood & Co, a small agency that runs independent of any adult supervision. After an assignment leads to both a grisly discovery and a disastrous end, Lucy, Anthony, and their sarcastic colleague, George, are forced to take part in the perilous investigation of Combe Carey Hall, one of the most haunted houses in England. Will Lockwood & Co. survive the Hall's legendary Screaming Staircase and Red Room to see another day?

Listeners who enjoyed the action, suspense, and humor in Jonathan Stroud's internationally bestselling Bartimaeus books will be delighted to find the same ingredients, combined with deliciously creepy scares, in his thrilling and chilling Lockwood & Co. series.

This is the first volume of the great supernatural series by the talented and inventive YA writer Jonathan Stroud.
The reading overall is competent, and rather good in the straight narrative parts, but the voicing of the different characters is not sufficiently distinct, and I was disappointed that Lucy didn't have a northern accent when she spoke.

Great story, okay reading

So much love between these children in a world where they weren’t given much. Beautiful story, beautifully written, scary! With twists, and turns that you don’t expect funny and witty I loved it!

Such a impactful story

This book started out a little on the creepy side, but once you adjust to the ghostly alter- world that the author has created the spooks are not as frightening. I would rate for 12 and up and maybe best not listened to on dark and stormy nights. The premise that kids have to fight the ghosts because adults don't have the same advantages that children do is an interesting one. The characters are well developed . The band of tween/ teen friends and colleagues are diverse and I like the strong female members. There is adventure, excitement, a few scares, mystery and humour. We were looking for something to replace Harry Potter once we finished that series, and while nothing quite compares, this was very good in it's own right. Apparently it's being made into a netflix series.

A Great Series

Definitely YA and written at a time where diversity and inclusion weren't a thing. Still, enjoyable world Stroud has built with interesting characters, but lacks the depth that would make a novel great. Good book to listen to while doing chores as the story was easy to follow along and the writing plain and concise.

Good audiobook for casual listening
