وصف الناشر
Charlie is gone, and Lincoln finds that Lichfield Towers offers no sanctuary. With reminders of her at every turn, and employees threatening to mutiny, he must try to find the murderer who is killing supernaturals on his own. And keep the murderer away from Charlie.
When the strongman from the visiting Barnum and Bailey's circus is murdered, Lincoln suspects a link, but piecing together the clues becomes dangerous and difficult work. He can't afford to be distracted, yet he finds he can't concentrate fully on the task. Even worse, Seth's mother, the incomparable Lady Vickers, has come to stay.
ASHES TO ASHES is a bonus novella-length story, written entirely from Lincoln's point of view. It is shorter than the rest of the books in the Ministry of Curiosities series.

Lincoln’s side
I quite liked this short book as it looked more into Fitzroy, how he works and feels. We knew Charlie could see right through him but reading it only put that set in store. The chase continues.
Lincoln’s Thoughts and Athleticism
At first, the pace of the book has slowed down considerably. It doesn’t have that personality of Charlie… BUT THEN… being inside Lincoln’s thoughts and reading about his athleticism became very intriguing.
We get to experience Lincoln’s rude thoughts, his judgements of others in a humorous way, and his compassion that is rarely picked up by others. His emotions of disgust, annoyance, frustration, or to see him open up because it felt right. He wasn’t always a statue of no emotions, and that shed light on who he was in the previous four books.
To read about Lincoln’s abilities when he goes into the night is fascinating. His ability to move around with ease like a ninja warrior was a bit surprising because its clear Charlie didn’t witness much of it before. It really was a secret!
Finally, understanding the thoughts behind Lincoln’s responses was also enlightening. When he makes a threat, its not even scratching the surface what he is able to do. His short direct statements are to entice others to reveal more about themselves. And his non-responsiveness is sometimes simply because he doesn’t feel the need to answer, which is relatable.
His stoicism really hides so much of his personality, and it was nice to finally see the man Charlie fell in love with. He ain’t so bad!
