The Animals of Lockwood Manor was an interesting read. I like the period pieces and this was a cool look in what it would be like during the war when important things like priceless museum pieces were evacuated out of London to protect them from the bombings. That was interesting enough but then there is the added mystery of pieces that move around and go missing in the spooky Lockwood manor.

The story is told from the alternating viewpoints of Lucy and Hetty, one the daughter of Major, the owner of Lockwood, and the other, the director of the museum pieces stored at Lockwood. Lucy is already a bit crazy and soon Hetty joins her. I myself lost part of my sanity reading this book and being driven crazy by the missing animals and other mysterious happenings. It was still enjoyable though and I am glad that Lucy and Hetty at least got their semi happy endings.
