The Screaming Staircase

The Screaming Staircase - Jonathan Stroud It didn't quite catch me, interesting concept with ghosts being a plague on humans and children being more able to to see them, the ability fading with time, which makes them the best people to hunt them. Three children join forces in their own company, A. J. Lockwood & Co., who are in trouble so they have to take on a dangerous job.

It just didn't engage me. I put it down and forgot about it at one stage, but finished it last night and was still underwhelmed but it took off after about 100 pages.
