The Empty Grave

Lockwood & Co., Book 5

By: Jonathan Stroud

Narrated by: Emily Bevan

Five months after the events in The Creeping Shadow, we join Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and their associate Quill Kipps on a perilous night mission: they have broken into the booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, where the body of the legendary psychic heroine Marissa Fittes lies. Or does it?

This is just one of the many questions to be answered in book five of the Lockwood & Co. series. Will Lockwood ever reveal more about his family's past to Lucy? Will their trip to the Other Side leave Lucy and Lockwood forever changed? Will Penelope Fittes succeed in shutting down their agency forever? The young agents must survive attacks from foes both spectral and human before they can take on their greatest enemy in a climactic and chaotic battle. And, to prevail, they will have to rely on help from some surprising - and shadowy - allies.

Jonathan Stroud once again delivers a rousing adventure full of danger, laughs, twists, and frights. The revelations will send listeners back to book one to start the series all over again.

I don't want it to be over!

I have so enjoyed this series via audio. The different character's came alive. I really am sad to see it end. I did see it has been optioned for television but I have very specific and high expectations now, because of the audiobooks!

well done!

The Empty Grave is a great end to an excellent story. I recommend it highly to anyone who just loves a good, unique story.

perfect

i just love it, and I would love more skull info

great end to a great series

definitely brings it all together. Stroud really did wrap it up nicely. You should read this title if you liked the others

Loved it!

I am definitely not trying n the target age for this series, but I think this story would be a blast for anyone who enjoys urban fantasy, action, and a great side of humor. I wonder if all the characters (aside from Lockwood, of course) are anywhere near as hideously ugly as Lucy describes them. She’s a great narrator, but also very much a teenage girl.

Excellent writing!

The Lockwood & Co series is excellent! Excellent imaginative writing with great characters, and, overall, a hopeful outlook for life and friendships.

Excellent Again

I quickly drank up this story after enjoying Book4. They were great together. Jonathan Stroud is doing really well at keeping the books from becoming repetitive by deepening the plot. The book is an easy listen thanks to Emily Brevan's work. I am looking forward to more Lockwood and Co in the future.
