This book was simply a delight to read!

The characters are so well done and unique, but the dialogue is the thing that makes it stand out to me. It's so witty and smart. I found myself laughing aloud many times!

The action is fast-paced, and the plot is intriguing with some twists without getting too complex. It kept me entertained from start to finish, and I can't wait to read the next in the series!

I was not expecting 3 so different genres to work well together but Landy completely changed my mind! Very well written and a great read for people both young and old. The comedy relief is well timed and fits well with the characters and personalities created

Twelve year old Stephanie has lost her favourite uncle. At the will reading she finds her life is about to change forever, not only has she been left her uncles house and fortunes, but she is about to meet Skulduggery. Who is Skulduggery you may ask? He is a detective.... and a fire-throwing Skeleton!
