About this listen

Welcome to Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in England.

It's 1926. Sarah Grey has a new job - assistant to Harry Price, London's most infamous ghost hunter. Harry has devoted his life to exposing the truth behind England's 'false hauntings', and never has he left a case unsolved.

They are invited to Borley Rectory - a house so haunted that objects fly through the air. But when night falls, they're forced to confront an uncomfortable possibility: the ghost of Borley Rectory may be real.

Compelling, well developed characters. Interesting idea and a plot that kept me guessing. Great twisty ending

Enjoyable yarn

i wasn't sure what to expect, I got this book in a 2 for 1 credit sale and though it sounded interesting. I had ever heard of Harry price before and didn't realise this book was inspired somewhat loosely on real events/peoples. I really enjoyed the book and I have start to look into his research due to it. would recommend this book to anyone who is into the supernatural.

really really good

This is an intriguing premise but I found the execution tedious. It seemed to be repetitive and a bit shambling in its seemingly interminable descriptions of Harry Price's investigations. I think the problem is that it is told from the viewpoint of his secretary so she is only telling what she sees. The idea may be that we come to understand as she does but I don’t think it works as a device as I felt it distanced me too much from the events described. It also gets a bit “Mills & Boon” in parts. It is not frightening, mysterious or intriguing. It did really drag and there were far too many coy comments such as “if I had known then what was to come...”. It may have been designed to crank up the tension but I didn’t feel it worked.

The narrators do a good job with the material they are given, good clear voices, proper emphases and pronunciation.

Lacklustre
