About this listen

THE #2 BESTSELLERDiscover the latest chilling, unputdownable novel, from the Richard and Judy bestseller.

A child who does not know her name…

In 1903 fishermen find a wrecked boat containing a woman, who has been badly beaten, and a young girl. An ambulance is sent for, and the two survivors are taken to All Hallows, the imposing asylum, hidden deep on Dartmoor. The woman remains in a coma, but the little girl, Harriet, awakens and is taken to an attic room, far away from the noise of the asylum, and is put in the care of Nurse Emma Everdeen.

Two motherless boys banished to boarding school…

In 1993, All Hallows is now a boarding school. Following his mother’s death and his father’s hasty remarriage, Lewis Tyler is banished to Dartmoor, stripped of his fashionable clothes, shorn of his long hair, and left feeling more alone than ever. There he meets Isak, another lost soul, and whilst refurbishment of the dormitories is taking place, the boys are marooned up in the attic, in an old wing of the school.

Cries and calls from the past that can no longer be ignored…

All Hallows is a building full of memories, whispers, cries from the past. As Lewis and Isak learn more about the fate of Harriet, and Nurse Emma’s desperate fight to keep the little girl safe, it soon becomes clear there are ghosts who are still restless.

Are they ghosts the boys hear at night in the room above, are they the unquiet souls from the asylum still caught between the walls? And can Lewis and Isak bring peace to All Hallows before the past breaks them first…

Enjoyed this very much . Both readers were clear and interesting and the story was great. Good ending too

Good

I was looking forward to this book as it came highly recommended, but I really didn’t like the male narrator. Not sure if he spoiled the story but I just felt it didn’t draw you in. I stuck with it until the end but feel it was many hours wasted and a credit too.

Not for me

I nearly cancelled when I heard the male narrator at the start but got over it once the characters came to life. Glad i did. Rolls along nicely and great intertwining of tales. enjoyed a lot.

Glad I pushed through

I don't usually enjoy multiple narrators or an announcement of the date every time the narrator changes but, for some reason, this didn't annoy me too much on this occasion - however, the recording of the (excellent) male narration was very poor, fuzzy and unclear in many places ...
The plot was interesting and everything was tied up neatly at the end ...

Enjoyed this far more than I expected to
