Director's Review- Ghostly Echoes by William Ritter

This book was everything I expected it it be after reading the first two books in the series. Jackaby and Abigial's ghostly roommate, Jenny Cavanaugh, had been a supporting character in "Jackaby" and "Beastly Bones," but in the series' third installment, she becomes the focus of the story. Ten years ago, Jenny was murdered, and her fiance, Howard Carson, disappeared. The case was never solved by the police, and Jenny has enlisted Jackaby and Abigail to uncover her killer and determine what happened to her finance the night she was murdered. As Jackaby and Abigail delve into the cold case, another murder occurs with alarming similarities, and the group quickly realizes that Jenny's case might not be as cold as it seems.

Complete with the wit and eccentricity that readers have come to expect from the character of R.F. Jackaby, this book was every bit as exciting and engrossing as the rest of the series, and will leave you ready for the fourth and final installment.

"Ghostly Echoes" is available through the OneClickDigital Library on the State Library of Kansas Database.
