Emily's Comments: Stephanie Edgley received much more than an estate and a fortune from her recently deceased uncle. She also inherited a skeleton detective and an adventure in a world of magic and danger. Skulduggery Pleasant, the witty, sarcastic ace detective, is always looking for a good mystery and, a dangerous case finds him when he saves Stephanie from a supernatural hitman looking for a key to a cave where an ancient, powerful sceptor has been hidden. Skulduggery and Stephanie are in a race against time and dark magic to find the sceptor before the evil sorcerer Serpine can release it's power and bring back an ancient evil that will destroy the world. This book is hilarious, fun, full of adventure, and extremely hard to put down. While the premise seems odd, you'll fall in love with the skeleton detective and is wit. A must read!!
