Peligan City, late November. Three months have passed since Lil and Nedly - Potkin and Stubbs - solved their first case. And now, at last, something new and unusual turns up: strange things are afoot at the doll hospital. But investigation turns up no more than an odd new owner. More important is the mysterious epidemic of deaths at the notorious Fellgate Prison. And when the Klaxon breaks the news that City Hall is hushing up that ghosts are real and are terrorising the city, mass hysteria reigns in Peligan City. Will Lil and Nedly get to the bottom of the case before any more trouble happens, and will they be the first to the scoop? Time to get to the library for help...

Lil Potkin has not sat on her laurels since solving her first mystery. She has taken on two jobs. One, as a dishwasher. The other, as a secret reporter for her favorite underground publication. When people all over Peligan City start dying off (mostly the homeless and prisoners, and even the prison governor), Lil knows she and Nedly must find the answers. Meanwhile, a new client (known as The Toymaker) appeals to Abe to solve the mystery of what’s going on at her doll hospital. Will our trio be able to find out what’s plaguing Peligan City, or was it beginner’s luck?
I ADORED this so much! I loved the first, but this one even surpassed that one! Maybe because we have already gotten to know the characters? Anyways, there were twists even I didn’t see coming. Also, I LOVE when MG books prove they can be as twisted and dark as YA and adult and Sophie does this swimmingly. There were a few moments that I was genuinely creeped out!
Am I the only one who pictures Abe as Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Go back and read the first. They have so much in common!!
As usual, KJ Mountford knocked it out of the park with illustrations!! The covers for the series are some of my favorite covers ever and the story illustrations are wonderful as well!
Buy this for yourself who loves a dark MG mystery. Or, if you’re twisted, get it for someone who has a fear of dolls. (
