Story
After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Deveaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: She’s become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades - the city’s secret ghost-fighting police - are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London.

Story
The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city - gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific work of Jack the Ripper in the autumn of 1888. Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect.

Story
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early 20th century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. "A place", he said, "where learning is a game." Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym "Truly, Devious".

A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it's not an app, though - it's a game. Truth or Dare. Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark. Then comes Maeve, and she should know better - always choose the dare. But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous.

Love Nicola Barber's Narration
This third installment to The Shades of London series was a long time in coming. I started to forget how much I had enjoyed the first two in the series and my urgency to read The Shadow Cabinet waned. But then I decided to listen to it as one of my October Halloween reads this year, and I fell in love with the story and the characters all over again. I remembered why I wanted to read the third book so badly when I finished the second.
The Shadow Cabinet is every bit as gripping as the first two books in the series. I love the addition to the team, and I like how we get a glimpse of the larger picture in this book. I sense good things ahead for book four. The death cult headed by Jane, Sid, and Sadie is pretty chilling.
I've listened to all the books in this series, and I'm still just absolutely in love with the audio versions. The narrator, Nicola Barber, does a fantastic job with all the accents. The reading is varied. The pacing is good, and it's just a joy to listen to.

Suspenseful, exciting story, brilliant narration.
Another excellent story by Maureen Johnson. I was incredibly impressed by Nicola Barber's narration, giving each character a distinct voice, tone, and accent. This is one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to.

What if death was only the beginning?
What about Nicola Barber’s performance did you like?
No spoilers, but STEPHEN.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Conquering death requires a few wayward souls to be sacrificed, consequently letting malevolence take root. Jane's sordid history with the siblings, Sid and Sadie is retold in the gruesome, twisted first chapter. It is with this beginning, that the work Stephen, Callum, and Boo do takes on a new role. They are no longer "ghostbusters". They have a new problem, and it's the living. Ghosts are fighting back. The living are wanting to defeat death. Stephen is gone. Callum is angry. Boo is lost. Rory wants to fix it, but it's hard to undo your biggest mistake... getting sucked into a cult.
Rory may seem at first like a Mary Jane. Ordinary girl gains gift. Confused. Meets guy. Falls in love with guy. Guy dies. Rory is different though. She's endearing, and her earlier wild anecdotes that at first I found odd fit with what is happening around her. The anecdotes in the Shadow Cabinet work better at foreshadowing the events to come, than in previous installments.
The Shadow Cabinet goes deeper into Stephen's psyche. Thank you cleverly placed evaluation form on Stephen. His aloofness, knowledge, and recklessness all come down to a piece paper boxed away in his things. It's heartbreaking, and it launches Rory into action.
This third installment will leave you grasping for the next.
Any additional comments?
Frankie. I like her, which probably means she's working for Jane.
