A great conclusion to The Books of Elsewhere. It answered all my questions and wrapped up loose ends from the previous books. The author’s voice was humorous and suspenseful throughout the series and each book was unique, but Still Life was the best of the bunch.
Olive has finally defeated the painted witch Annabelle, but Aldous has been freed from his self-portrait and plans to claim the old home on Linden Street. Olive and her friends have to face their greatest enemy yet. As they look for Morton’s lost parents, try to defeat Aldous, and reclaim the house, dark secrets will be revealed. Secrets that threaten the very existence of Elsewhere.
