Summary
How can the mysterious disappearance of Anne Flint in 1816 and the drowning of a young girl in a chalk stream so long ago possibly affect the life of schoolteacher Harry Flint some two centuries later? Having left his job and with a failed marriage behind him, Harry begins to research his ancestors. The deeper he digs, the more he realises that the past is closer than he had ever imagined. The Haunting is a story of love and betrayal, intrigue and murder. Where people are not what they seem, and the past is no more predictable than the future.

Another Plus for Titchmarsh
Love the characters and plot lines. Also love the fact he narrates his books himself.
Usually books moving from one era to another annoy me but this one worked really well.I would highly recommend this or any of his titles. Easy and calming to listen to as well.

more enthralling and edge of seat than expected.
to start with i struggled with the story line flitting backwards and forwards in time but as the plot developed it started to make sense and by the end made total sense. very cleverly written taking it from what felt like a slow burner to a fantastic story but its finish. well read by Alan with good goes and the voices and dialects. Alan comes up with a corker yet again like he always does. brilliant.

Beautiful story, beautifully read
More unabridged Alan Titchmarsh titles please! He has such a lovely way of writing (and reading for that matter) that easily takes you in your mind straight to where and when he is writing about and describing so well. As he reads the story, your imagination whisks you away to the year 1816 one moment and brings you hurtling back to present day for the next chapter.
You follow the goings on of Anne Flint in 1816, a housemaid in the Manor House dreaming of being lifted to her ambitious position of Lady's Maid whilst cleaning the grates, and of Harry Flint in 2010, a school master at a school in Winchester who not only teaches History but has a true passion for the subject (as do I).
The fact that this book is read by the author himself and also that it is unabridged, meaning you miss out on nothing at all, is fantastic. I wish there were more unabridged Alan Titchmarsh titles to download. I'd buy the lot!
Update: 9th October 2020 - just finished listening for the 2nd time. Still love this book and I'm sure it'll be listened to again in the not-too-distant future. Its amazing how much of the detail I'd forgotten, and am glad of it. It is, and will remain, one if my favourite titles, so beautifully read.

Very sensitive and compelling
A charming book and something that Alan Titchmarsh is very good at and that is writing a love story from male perspective leaving aside any macho crap. Similar in pace and tone to "The Last Lighthouse Keeper" (a book which I really enjoyed) The Haunting is a gentle tale which I found quite moving and am glad that I stumbled on it.

Not for me
I struggled with this book. I just felt that it was so slow. When I see a book narrated by the author, I've become a little wary. On the positive side, they imagined the chracters in the first place, so you'd think that they'd bring them to life in a way that others couldn't . All to often, you just realise that the narration is often better done by a professional! So many times I thought about just giving up. It's not absolutely terrible, others have given it fantastic reviews, but it's not for me. When it comes to Alan Titchmarsh, I'll stick to watching his gardening shows!
