About this listen

Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.

The Hidden Dead is the fourth book in a hilarious series featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, has become an unwilling crime-solver. When the dead call, she listens. . .

On a night out in a London bar, our accidental medium Tanz meets Einar, a charismatic and sexy Viking travelling for business. He offers Tanz an irresistible proposition: return to Iceland with him for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat and some no-strings-attached fun.

Promised a mix of work, play and maybe a bit of romance, Tanz follows her heart (and the voices in her head) off to Iceland on a whim; but when she arrives, she quickly realises that Einar and his charm might not be all they're cracked up to be.

Heartbroken, abandoned and left to the mercy of the long, haunting nights, Tanz finds herself surrounded not just by the rugged beauty of a land steeped in legend but also the mysteries that lurk in its shadows. With only the dead for guidance, Tanz is thrust back into the heart of a chilling cold case, where the echoes of the forgotten and the allure of old magic compel her to listen, to understand and to act. . .

Love, love, LOVED it!! Never a dull moment, the character is so full of life and has a very similar sense of humour to me. The narrator is spot on as usual, can't wait for the next one!! ❤️

Love, love, LOVED it!!

I love the humour and all the warm endearing characters, most of all I love Tanz. I read one of these books and listened to 2 more, but definitely prefer the audible version. Can’t wait for the next one.

Another brilliant book

A great continuation of this series . Maybe not quite as strong as the last two books .interesting to take a journey to iceland and its culture. Missed some of the old characters from previous books , so this book could stand alone. Definitely looking forward to future adventures.

Gentle tale
