Jackaby is by William Ritter. The first book in the Jackaby series. A charming fantasy series that the "Chicago Tribune" hales as a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The story takes place in New England in 1892, in the fictional town of New Fiddleham. Abigail Rook has recently arrived and desperately needs a job. She spots an advertisement for an assistant and proceeds to the home of R.F. Jackaby who investigates the "unexplained." Jackaby agrees to a trial period and Abigail finds herself helping him track down a supernatural serial killer. This is a wonderful series that is fast paced and action packed. You won't be able to wait for the next installment.
Ratings: 9th grade - 9 out of 10 - V (violence).
