Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer R.F. Jackaby dive into the cold case of their own resident ghostly lady to solve her decade-old murder in the third book of the New York Times bestselling Jackaby series. Jenny Cavanaugh, the ghostly lady of 926 Augur Lane, has enlisted the services of her detective-agency tenants to solve a decade-old murder—her own. Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, dive into the cold case, starting with a search for Jenny’s fiancé, who went missing the night she died. But when a new, gruesome murder closely mirrors the events of ten years prior, Abigail and Jackaby realize that Jenny’s case isn’t so cold after all. Soon Abigail’s race to unravel the mystery leads her down to the mythical underworld and deep into her colleagues’ grim histories to battle the most deadly foe she has ever faced.

I really enjoyed this third installment in the Jackaby series. I loved getting to see Jackaby, Abigail, Jenny, and a few more characters again. I absolutely love this world and these characters. Each one of them adds so much to the story.
That being said this book was a little bit of a filler book. We definitely learned a lot and it set up the final installment, but it wasn't as much of a clear case to solve as the first two. The big question that comes up at the beginning of the book is definitely answered, but I definitely have more questions following this book than I normally do with this series. I'm also a little hesitant about how everything can be wrapped up in one final book, but we shall see.
