## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Decent series, but feels too familiar
  

*by W***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2017*

Okay, so I'm working my way through the Jackaby series. While it is interesting enough to keep me reading and totally worth the time, it also is such a mash-up of two of my favorite series, I just have to mention it. If you've read Stroud's Lockwood series, this is so similar, it's almost spooky. Also, this particular Jackaby novel (Beastly Bones) gave me a crazy Harry Potter vibe. Let me just say: big harry loveable character who likes wild animals; nosy, somewhat invasive reporter woman; magical bird that attacks reptile and saves main characters; loveable, quiet character who turns into a wolf; dragon & other magical creatures; vampires. I wouldn't call this book a copycat by any means, but I feel like it is a mash-up of Lockwood and Harry Potter. So, if you like those series, give Jackaby a try.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great characters, continuing storyline
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020*

3.5 stars, but I rounded up because if you've read the first installment, you'll want to read this one. Furthermore, I am looking forward to the third. Upon nearing the end of the book, it seems as if the case was very disjointed, but then it becomes clear there is a mastermind behind the crazy events that happened. It appears this storyline will carry over into the next installment, whereas the first book stood on its own pretty well.The slow burn romance is adorable, and in the professional realm, Jackaby continues to more greatly appreciate Abigail's contributions to the case while retaining his infuriatingly sincere arrogance and quirkiness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great fun

The second Jackaby book has proved to be as charming as the first, if even more verbally anachronistic.  Never mind all that.  As The Housemate quite rightly pointed out, "It's an alternate universe!"  Nowhere in ours do we find cranky toads that spew sulphurous smoke from their eyes, and at no point did Darwin decide to keep secret creatures that morph into the animals they prey on.  Or as Abigail Rook herself puts it, "Working as his (Jackaby's) assistant tends to call for a somewhat flexible relationship with reality."In this volume the two leave New Fiddleham to investigate the theft of a fossil and the murder of the wife of the man who discovered it.  They join officer Charlie Cane, who has changed his name to Charlie Barker (If you haven't read the first book, you won't understand why this made me hiccup with laughter.) after leaving New Fiddleham under a cloud of suspicion.  Abigail is sweet on Charlie, Charlie is sweet on Abigail, everyone thinks they should just get on with it, including Jackaby who is notoriously obtuse about such things.  But before they can, events surrounding the fossil discovery heat up.  You have a lot of people telling a lot of lies, dueling paleontologists, an intrepid female reporter who also thinks Abigail should put the moves on Charlie, and a whole lot of cryptozoology going down.  In short, it's a Jackaby novel.These stories are like potato chips.  I could read one after another and still want more.  They're decently written, funny, fast-paced, but they're not just mind candy.  There are decent mysteries at the heart of each one.  However, in spite of Jackaby being the eponymous hero, these are actually Abigail's stories.  She's a true partner to Jackaby, the emotional heart of each book, and in this one in particular, her expertise drives a good bit of the plot.I've heard a sad rumor that Jackaby #4, The Dire King, is the final book of the series, and I hope that's not the case.  The world Ritter has created is such fun, and filled with so many possibilities that I'm sure he could produce many more adventures.  Still, never say never, right?  I'll keep hoping he changes his mind.  Until then, I have two more to read, and you, dear reader, have a delightful mystery series with which to become acquainted.
