About this listen
In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts. The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old daughters. Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline pilot, has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain due to double engine failure. The body count? Thirty-nine. A riveting ghost story with all the hallmarks readers have come to expect from bestselling, award-winning novelist Chris Bohjalian.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This story is a mixture of a ghost story and a witch's tale. It starts out well but then turns into something resembling and episode of 'Charmed'. It remains mildly entertaining but not what I expected from the description.Good idea, average execution

If you could sum up The Night Strangers in three words, what would they be?
Gripping, cold and chilling.What other book might you compare The Night Strangers to, and why?
Difficult to compare this book really but for me the spell binding quality of Stephen King's Dead Zone springs readily to mindWhich character – as performed by Mark Bramhall and Alison Fraser – was your favourite?
The character of Chip was very well done.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me gulp at the end.Any additional comments?
You know how you expect a book to give you a happy ending? Well this story doesn't and it really bites you in the backside. The final epilogue is chilling more for what it leaves to the imagination than anything else.A bit slow to start and maybe even repetitive about the airline crash but ... well when it gets going fantastic!
Chilling story

I'd not heard these actors before and their work on this book was brilliant. Excellent choices for the characters portrayed.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yeah. All of it.Any additional comments?
