Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A Pink Panther-esque page turner that marks the return of eccentric narrator Lemony Snicket…The Snicket style of storytelling is exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, Who Could That Be at This Hour? is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious.” —Los Angeles Times
“A very bookish book, full of reverence for the power of literature…a little masterpiece of surreal mischief, teasing us, playing with our expectations, leaving us amused.” —Guardian (London)
“A contagious kinetic energy, as if it were written on a steady diet of espresso and sugar. The sophisticated novel demands to be read twice: once for the laughs and the second time for the clues…Snicket challenges even as he entertains.” —Boston Globe
“Full of Snicket’s trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
* "[With] gothic wackiness, linguistic play and literary allusions....Fans of the Series of Unfortunate Events will be in heaven picking out tidbit references to the tridecalogy, but readers who've yet to delve into that well of sadness will have no problem enjoying this weird and witty yarn. —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "Full of Snicket's trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two. —Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "Full of Snicket's characteristic wit and word play . . . this book belongs in all collections. —VOYA, starred review
Please, it's Lemony Snicket. Enough said. —Booklist
A Pink Panther-esque page turner that marks the return of eccentric narrator Lemony Snicket....The black, gray and blue illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this outrageous, long-overdue, middle-grade follow-up series from a truly beloved narrator. —Los Angeles Times
Demands to be read twice: once for the laughs and the second time for the clues....Equal parts wit and absurdity. —The Boston Globe
The sort of goodie savored by brainy kids who love wordplay, puzzles and plots that zing from point A to B by way of the whole alphabet. —The Washington Post
