About this listen

Haunting and atmospheric, The End of Temperance Dare is another thrilling audiobook from the author reviewers are calling the Queen of the Northern Gothic.

When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of a renowned artists' retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor's dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a "waiting room for death". After years of covering murder and violence as a crime reporter, Eleanor hopes that being around artists and writers in this new job will be a peaceful retreat for her as much as for them.

But from her first fog-filled moments on the manor's grounds, Eleanor is seized by a sense of impending doom and realizes there's more to the institution than its reputation of being a haven for creativity. After the arrival of the new fellows - including the intriguing, handsome photographer Richard Banks - she begins to suspect that her predecessor chose the group with a dangerous purpose in mind. As the chilling mysteries of Cliffside Manor unravel and the eerie sins of the past are exposed, Eleanor must fight to save the fellows - and herself - from sinister forces.

Another great one from the author. She’s got a great way of setting out the characters and it had a very interesting ending.

Slow going but worth the wait.

not as good as the first two wendy webb titles I listened to - I found a little repetition of the characters and location. Still a good story, which I enjoyed and good narration. I listened three books in a row so maybe my judgement would have been different of I'd had a break between. Still a good listen, chilly ghost story.

Not as good as the first two books

This is the second book I’ve listened to from this author and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Just one irritation ;in this and the other book, The Stroke of Winter, the narrator really can’t pull off an English, Irish or Scottish accent! It doesn’t even come close. However, the narrator reads it beautifully which makes up for it.

Loved it!
