Book 5 The Empty Grave Blurb

Lockwood & Co.
You guys! I found The Empty Grave's synopsis on Pinterest:
Five months after the events in THE CREEPING SHADOW, we join Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and their associate Quill Kipps on a perilous night mission: they have broken into the booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, where the body of the legendary psychic heroine Marissa Fittes lies. Or does it?
This is just one of the many questions to be answered in Book 5 of the Lockwood & Co. series. Will Lockwood ever reveal more about his family's past to Lucy? Will their trip to the Other Side leave Lucy and Lockwood forever changed? Will Penelope Fittes succeed in shutting down their agency forever? The young agents must survive attacks from foes both spectral and human before they can take on their greatest enemy in a climactic and chaotic battle. And to prevail they will have to rely on help from some surprising - and shadowy - allies.
Jonathan Stroud once again delivers a rousing adventure full of danger, laughs, twists, and frights. The revelations will send readers back to Book 1 to start the series all over again.

Gosh, I'm so excited!!!! I knew they were going to break into Marissa Fittes' tomb, I was guessing that would happen just from the title. But why after 5 months? And notice how the skull isn't mentioned at all, compared to how he was mentioned in all the previous blurbs ("distracted by urgent whispers", "skull offers sardonic advice from the sidelines", "like a jilted lover"). Unless this "surprising and shadowy" ally is the skull?
Anyway. I'm starting the countdown all over again :gladstone:

Who knows, maybe I'll have actually finished the last two by the time this one comes out!
