About this listen

Meet the ultra-rational Dr Newton Barlow. Cool, cynical, scientific, he’s the last man you’d want to be a bridge between the living and the dead. But with his academic reputation in tatters, and nothing to lose but his few remaining marbles, the great skeptic is about to discover that the past that haunts him will be nothing compared to his ghost-ridden future.

Thrust into a rollicking struggle between good and evil, can Dr Barlow forget everything he ever believed in to save this world...and the next?

Thrilling, chilling, and utterly hilarious, The Unhappy Medium is a bone-dry British comedy in the great tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

Really enjoyed the story and the characters, but there was so much unnecessary detail that was thought needed to provide background or set a scene. It really distracted from the plot. I’m keen to hear the next book and see if the writing has tightened up. Very good

Too much detail

Loved this book when I first read it. Laughed so uncontrollably that my husband downloaded it straight away. I love the triplets & my favourite part of the book is the fight between Ascot & Newton, reminded me of the fight between Bridget Jones's love rivals, so funny. Excited to listen to the book on Audible & was not disappointed, just as funny as I remembered.

Fantastic dastardly characters
