[Hayley Finn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wanted to complete the set. I had read The Devil's Doorbell when I was very young and for some reason the title always stuck with me. So some decades later I found a copy then discovered it's a set of three.

In the book I think Horowitz ties up enough loose ends, a little quickly. But this is a story about a set of five children and the fifth, Will, is only mentioned twice by name and only ever in this book. I wonder if Will is actually referring to Will Stanton from The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper?

I'm glad to have read this set, I can see why Horowitz has gone on to be so popular.
