About this listen

In the middle of the night, two young infants start screaming in their bedroom as the temperature drops, the baby mobiles spin wildly and the room is filled with an aura of fear, panic and dread....

Jack Nightingale is called to investigate these spooky goings on in the house of occult-metal rock star Jimmy Deadman and his health-crazed supermodel wife, Mary Madison. To try to work out what’s going on and save the poor children from the haunting, he must delve into the history of the town and the house itself and discover the meaning of two mysterious occultist lockets gifted to the babies on the day of their baptism.

Not as strong as other stories in this series but good enough to keep me listening. Couldn't quite believe some of JN's naivety about certain historical details. Paul Thornley's narration excellent as ever.

Another Jack Nightingale outing.

This is a more of a ghostly crime thriller than the usual Nightingale, it has ghostly goings on, an old frenemy is called upon for assistance, and the reason for the haunting is a real tear jerker so all in all, a jolly good listen.

Old crimes come to light

There is no big surprise's the book is what it appears to be, a ghost story in a house.
But, the characters are good, and it was easy to visualise the place and people whilst listening.
Worth a purchase or credit.

Great listen as always

Paul Thornley again brings our sort of hero Jack Nightingale to life. I can’t imagine a different narrator for this series of books.

Jack is again called to aid in a supernatural problem. (Not giving spoilers!).

Suffice to say, as mirrored in life, a supermodel and a rockstar have a life together.

One has a life tied to the grounds of where they live the most ordinary life they can.

But, once their childrens’ room becomes a problem, Jack is asked to work out why by his dark arts acquaintance.

A twisted tale ensues. If new to the Nightingale series, you will need to start from the beginning of the series.

A really gripping and chilling tale of life 50+ years ago.

My 2 only gripes are that firstly, it’s too damn short! Secondly, why hasn’t this series been picked up by tv producers? It should be.

Just too short

Anofther brilliant book and first-class narrator. I have listened to all of the Jack Nightingale books and enjoyed everyone.

Pure genius
