The Creeping Shadow

Lockwood & Co., Book 4

De: Jonathan Stroud

Narrado por: Emily Bevan

After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency, wants them - and only them - to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover.

What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But in a shocking cliff-hanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Emily Bevan’s narration is as spine-tingling as the adventures in this fourth Lockwood & Co. story.... Bevan’s rendition of the wry skull is laugh-out-loud perfect. Also spot-on is the suspense she brings to the drama of a threatening spirit, the sinister forces behind it, and Lucy’s joy at being reunited with her friends." (AudioFile)

listened in a day

Just keeps getting better with every book! I am well pleased and at ease with the new reader now after she has performed this 4th book.
I just don't know how I'm going to wait till the next book!

Fantastic!

Great from beginning to end. Narration is really wonderful. This is one of my favorite series.

To good to put away!

Every chapter made me hang on the end of my chair. The description was perfect and it made me feel like I was there in the room every time. Plus the relationship between Lockwood and Lucy makes me melt.

Brilliant work

Jonathan Stroud crafts a great story and builds the magical and charming world of Lockwood & Co. with a relatable narrator in Lucy Carlisle. Lockwood & Co.’s adventures are stories that I enjoy experiencing again and again.

Great Books!

I have been enjoying this book series so much! This one does not disappoint. Go Lucy!

love this series

I enjoyed the characters and I thought the narrator did a great job.. I always knew who was talking.. skull is my favorite.

Best one yet!

I've always enjoyed these characters, but the author really excelled with the plot this time around. This book is well worth a credit.

Just brilliant

This is the BEST series!!! I want to recommend it to everyone I know, and I have been attempting to do so :) So. Brilliant.

Must read

Best book I have read in a long time j m n m no m.

Its still Emily!!!

The first two books in the series had different narrators, so I wasn’t at all excited to find out that ‘The Hollow Boy’ featured yet another change. Initially, I wasn’t too keen on purchasing it after listening to the sample. However, I decided to buy it anyway. In the end, I was really impressed by how Emily voiced all the characters. Her ability to change accents and voices truly stood out. My favorite renditions were of George, Skull, and Holly. It took me a while to adjust, but once I did, I was dreading the release of ‘The Creeping Shadow,’ anticipating yet another narrator change. It was a pleasant surprise and a relief to discover that Emily narrated this installment as well—and would continue for the rest of the series. I can’t imagine the characters sounding any other way now.
