I haven’t read Lock and Key, and I found this quite interesting. I really liked Moria, and I’d be interested to read more from her perspective. I do feel tempted to start the rest of the series.

So I Came across this on the Google downloads free audio book list.It wasn't very long and was a young adult /teen fiction book which I wasn't aware of.That said, the narrator was really good. Having only listened to one audio book previously and hated that I had little comparison to make with the format.This book has definitely made me try again with the audio books. Now I know how they can be read I'm definitely going to listen to many many more of them.I tend to listen to a book every day while I'm at work, so finding a good book/series to get into or a good narrator to follow is essential.The book itself was OK. Nothing spectacular and a few plot errors but definitely an author I will look out for when my daughter is of the age to enjoy their work in a couple of years time.

Fun PrequelA fun short story introduction to the Lock and Key series. Meet the Moriarty kids and if you enjoy them move on to the full series. If you have already read the series, this will give you a a bit more back story and a fine small dose of the young sleuths.

Author’s usual; entertaining and engaging. Ending does lead into next in series but is not a cliffhanger. Well read by Nicola Barbara.
