Publisher's summary

Charlie's life is perfect. She has everything her heart desires. Until it all goes horribly wrong.

Charlie and Lincoln return to London to find two supernaturals have been murdered, and Charlie might be next. As if that wasn't bad enough, the man who adopted her has escaped from prison, and the committee members have just learned some news that infuriates them. Now there's talk of sending Charlie away again. Far away.

But the worst is yet to come. Charlie is kidnapped and forced to summon one of the murder victims - but she's unable to send him back. With an angry dead supernatural on the loose and the committee determined to get rid of her, Charlie's time with the Ministry of Curiosities, and Lincoln, is in grave danger of coming to an end.

series is progressing, but I have to say Lincoln is giving me whiplash. his moods are bipolar.
Charlie is growing. narration was good.

The Ministry of Curiosities series is GREAT

I have been an Audible Listener since before 2003 and have listened to over 2000 audio books from there and Recorded Books. This series is just delightful. Imagine the scamps from Dickens Novels in the 1800's with some supernatural/fantasy and Romance Novel overtones. Unless you find all Fantasy Novels distasteful, you will love this series. I just salivate at the thought that the 10th book will soon reach Audible.

Great story but romance is getting stupid

Love the detective and supernatural parts of this story. The soap opera romance gets a little too sappy at times. Just when relationship is resolved and we can focus on the action and detection elements, something happens to re-engage the stupid romantic tension. Really not necessary. Just let Lincoln develop as a character and not fall back into his stunted early characterization!
