Stephanie is sad, and even more surprised when her Uncle Gordon dies and leaves her, his favorite niece, his entire estate and fortune. While staying at the house alone one night, a man tries to break in, and Stephanie's life changes forever. Suddenly she finds herself traveling with Detective Skulduggery Pleasant, and trying to solve the mystery of who killed her uncle. Skulduggery's world proves to be more and more bizarre, as Stephanie finds that there is an entire magic world of which she has previously been unaware. Now it is up to her to begin to harness her powers and avenge her uncle's death.In the tradition of Harry Potter and Leven Thumps, Stephanie, who has always felt a bit out of place, finds herself in a magical world she never knew existed. Although this book is lengthy (nearly 400 pages), it is a quick read. Although I have always claimed not to be a fan of fantasy novels, more and more I am having to eat my words.
