Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction. Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source - the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard. When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough... A hilarious, nail-biting and surprising book.

This book was a thrilling adventure fiction book and I really enjoyed reading it's quick wit and mind-blowing storyline which was brilliant. Best of all is Skulduggery who is a skeleton detective who was killed by Serpine but I won't tell you more because I will ruin it however he's the best because he's humerous, fun and knowledgable, a thing which Stephanie learns when he meets him.I do recommend this read and I'm glad it won the award. I hope Derek Landy writes more beacause this was brilliant and I hope to read the next one.
