About this listen

Homeless, hunted, and desperate to escape a bitter storm, Keira takes refuge in an abandoned groundskeeper's cottage. Her new home is tucked away at the edge of a cemetery, surrounded on all sides by gravestones: some recent, some hundreds of years old, all suffering from neglect.

And in the darkness, she can hear the unquiet dead whispering.

The cemetery is alive with faint, spectral shapes, led by a woman who died before her time…and Keira, the only person who can see her, has become her new target. Determined to help put the ghost to rest, Keira digs into the spirit's past life with the help of unlikely new friends, and discovers a history of deception, ill-fated love, and murder.

But the past is not as simple as it seems, and Keira's time is running out. Tangled in a dangerous web, she has to find a way to free the spirit...even if it means offering her own life in return.

Not the best book by Darcy, a lot is left unanswered, maybe that’s why this is a series and the answers come later? It’s an interesting talent the main character has, I am sure a lot can be done with this by the writer. Not sure whether I will continue with the series, I will want to read their reviews

It was ok

I am big fan of Darcy Coates’s work, but I felt that this story was a little Gloucester and dragged on rather a lot. Seemed to me like there wasn’t a huge amount of story, and the story that was there was very much pulled out. I like the heroine, and I liked the setting but overall not the best of her books.

Okay

This is an excellent start to ghostly going ons, it's captivating throughout, as she strives to help the ghosts and solve the past mysteries. 👻
Excellent narration. 🎶
