About this listen

A dark psychological thriller set in a Victorian asylum in the heart of Wales.

Warning - contains highly disturbing material!

It's 1893, and 19-year-old Flora George is admitted to a remote asylum with no idea why she is there, what happened to her child, or how her wealthy family could have abandoned her to such a fate. However, within a short space of time, it becomes apparent she must save herself from something far worse than that of a harsh regime.

It's 2018, and 41-year-old Isobel Lee moves into the gatehouse of what was once the old asylum. A reluctant medium, it is with dismay she realizes there is a terrible secret here - one desperate to be heard. Angry and upset, Isobel balks at what she must now face. But with the help of local dark-arts practitioner Branwen, face it she must.

This is a dark story of human cruelty, folklore, and superstition. But the human spirit can and will prevail...unless of course, the wrath of the fae is incited.

Best book I have listened to for months. Narrator was excellent and brought the story to life.

Fabulous

If you have already been infuriated by the stupid voices in the Betty Church series don’t go near this book. The over acted babyish tremulous voice of the narrator made it impossible to finish or even care about the ending of this book. She also seems to forget who she is wobbling on about as she seems to apply it to more than one player depicting the personality of a wet fish very well. Refund thanks, shame really as I think - when not distracted by the quavering voices - the story is ok.

Irritating narrator

I found the first approximate two thirds of this book to be absolutely compelling and listened to this book as quickly as possible. The story of Flora is horrific and I felt such sympathy for her and on occasions even had tears in my eyes. Her final scene is terrible indeed. Unfortunately for me, the author failed to sustain similarly high levels of dramatic tension in Isobel’s part of the story, leaving me with too many questions. What happens, for example to the Fox-Whateley’s and to the villagers? What about Flora’s revenge mentioned earlier on in the story? It was all over too quickly and seemed almost unfinished. Is there going to be a sequel perhaps?

More needed from the final scenes!

Fantastic

I’m enjoying the story line, but not sure I’ll be able to finish due to the terrible simpering narrator; It’s so distracting it just ruins an otherwise good book. When I listened to the sample, the character was a slightly precious 19yr old from the C19, so it didn’t seem so ill fitting to have a simpering voice playing the part, but gracious the ‘modern’ female character doesn’t fit the voice at all, The attempt at Welsh is just as appalling, she dives between a ridiculous Welsh then broad west country accent. Her over emphasised ‘cut glass’ English narration is also a difficult listen as it feels she’s acting and not telling a story (fine if she’s playing a character not fine when being a narrator), But really it’s the very ‘girly’/ high pitched’ slightly breathy, simpering voice throughout the story that is as irritating as a wasp at a picnic. .
I think the narrator would have been much more suited for Jane Austen or similar but not a thriller.

Good story ruined by terrible narration

Totally ludicrous story but excellently read. Entertaining, scary, gruesome, fairly short, would probably read another!

Excellent performance

Having read the Father Of Lies trilogy by Sarah England, thus quickly making her one of my favourite authors, I was excited to get going with this book. Ordinarily, I love the physical aspect of reading an actual paperback, to me, that is part of the magic. However I spend a lot of time out walking my dog and opted to get this in audiobook form. It's always a concern that the narrator may be annoying, or incongruent to the characters - but this narrator portrayed the characters brilliantly!
The settings, the characters, the plot fit together perfectly well, making you want to continue chapter after chapter! The author is obviously well researched, and isn't afraid to reach into the darkest corners of our psyche. Terrifying, and genius! LOVED it!! Highly recommended! Roll on Monkspike!!

A wonderfully addictive dark gothic creepy read

This is my personal opinion only and others may really enjoy this book, but if I wanted to read a study of asylums in the 20th century, I would buy a book. I really found listening to the torture of the inmates of the asylum in such detail became too much.

a bit too much at times

A well thought out story having worked in a lunatic asylum as they called them many years ago I never did see atrocities like these in the book but do believe they did happen many years before my time, characters in the book went through some harrowing stuff and I do love the folk laws narrator brought the book to like.

Brilliant

My favourite book already, the story is gripping and I couldn’t stop listening the narrator was brilliant she can do accents and the emotion in her voice I could feel it in my chest I 100% recommend this to anyone and everyone the narrator makes the book come alive I love everything about this book and the narrator!

AMAZING
