About this listen

Mrs Zant has recently lost her beloved husband, and while walking in the Kensington Gardens, the spot where she and her deceased husband declared their love for each other, she feels his presence trying to warn her of some coming danger.

Mr Rayburn witnesses it all, and he'll have to fight his own incredulity regarding the supernatural and his gut feeling that the disturbed young woman is telling the truth.

Brought to life by Golden Globe Award-winning actress Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Mrs Zant is the perfect Victorian ghost story.

I listened to the Audible edition narrated by Gillian Anderson.

I like Wilkie Collins. The narration was brilliant. A great Collins story, not his best, but still... I think if I'd read the actual book I would have given up through boredom, but Gillian kept the suspense and atmosphere going.

Beautifully narrated.

The reason I got this was because I love the way Gillian Anderson reads and for that I was not disappointed. Beautifully soothing voice that she has it was a great book to nod off to. As to the story I felt it had an anti - climatic ending but that's just personal and maybe that in itself was the point. But I would definitely listen to it again.

Beautifully read

I dozed off a couple of times, trying to reach the conclusion - and had to try find the approximate passage of story again.

Although I like Gillian Anderson's calmness of voice, here this was a tad too monosyllabic for me. Not all of the pauses were 'in the right place', so at times I found myself wanting to grab the script and take over the reading of that passage.

Enjoyable enough, but the tale was too gaping or the character explanation too scant in parts, to totally satisfy me.

Short enough to retain an interest, but...

Such a gentle ghost story, brought to life by Gillian Anderson’s excellent narration - although quite a short story, it’s well worth a listen.

The narration is very slow and tragic. A good listen, but it will send you to sleep pretty quickly.

OK
