About the book
Now a major Netflix series!
When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in . . .
For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions.
Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead she finds herself joining the smallest most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood. When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive.
Set in a city stalked by spectres, The Screaming Staircase is the first in a chilling new series full of suspense, humour and truly terrifying ghosts. Your nights will never be the same again . . .
Suspenseful, supernatural adventure - Metro

4.0Nachdem ich die erste Staffel der Serie GELIEBT habe, musste ich die Reihe anfangen und dieser Auftakt hat mir echt sehr gut gefallen. Ich mag die Charaktere und die Atmosphäre mega gerne. Die Serie hat sich sehr stark am Buch orientiert, also hat man hier nicht wirklich mehr erfahren. Einige Dinge fand ich in der Serie tatsächlich auch etwas besser umgesetzt (z.B. George, Inspector Barnes, Norrie etc.). Alles in allem ist es aber eine Geschichte, die Spaß macht und ich will auf jeden Fall schnell weiterlesen.

5.0This was recommended to me by a friend because it wad her favourite series growing up and it did not disappoint! To be honest, I expected something a little different (f.e. I thought Lockwood would be the main character) but this was so much better than what I thought was going to happen. Characters, story, ghosts, I loved it! I admit, I saw the plot-twist coming from a mile away (since the very first time a certain person appeared, I just KNEW they were the culprit) but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of reading. Also, I get that this is a children’s book but please, I NEED the juicy details on the serial killers etc that were mentioned but then conveniently interrupted for the sake of not making the book too dark for children. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
