Summary
This is the tale of a deadly conspiracy, an all-consuming obsession and an unlikely heroine.
Michael Aldridge, talented architect and devoted family man, has built his dream home on the Isle of Wight, but when strange coincidences take a sinister turn, he must uncover a long-forgotten secret before it's too late.
A wonderfully sinister new novella from the master of the chilling ghost story, The Going and the Rise questions how far you would go to realise your dream...and what you would risk to protect the one you love.

Up to Cottam's usual spooky standard
I love reading the supernatural stories of F G Cottam as they are deeply rooted in character and plot which gives them a truly believable appeal. A man builds a house for his family unaware of the price they will have to pay for their idyllic surroundings.

Quite good
I enjoyed this book, and liked the tone and sound and listening to the narrator who was a very pleasant reader, he took his time and used lovely intonation during speech to “voice “ his characters
Although I wished the story was a little longer the ending felt like it had cut the story short a bit too early
Some of the language used is brilliant, and I really loved this book

Dark side of the Isle of Wight
It’s not set at Christmas but this short tale has something of the festive ghost story about it. A metropolitan architect experiences the uncanny while closeted on the Isle of Wight- lovely hints of Christie’s Endless Night and Dickens’ Signal Man with a dash of Hammer.
Lots of story for its length plus brilliant narration.

Another excellent gripping story
I have listened to a number books by this author and can honestly say that each book has been a gripping tale that has been hugely enjoyable. I have brought another 2 books from this author and can't wait to get started on them.

A dark tale, beautifully narrated
The first part of the story paints a charming picture of family life, but soon becomes depressingly dark under the influence of forces in which it is hard to believe. The brilliant narration does not prevent the whole from leaving rather a bad aftertaste.

Surprised
So much wonderful story successfully crammed into a few hours, not easy to do without losing something. Very satisfying listening.

Excellent
Wow, this is back to the brilliant creepy and interesting style of Mr Cottam's 'Waiting Room', I really enjoyed this book, it left me still pondering and thinking about the eerie tale. I loved it.
