About this listen

Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife.

For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr. Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he's beginning to crave a challenge.

Something big.

Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts.

But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr. Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium.

Love the humour and daftness of these books! Laugh out loud and lots of references to the less attractive characters in society

Cracking characters!

Thoroughly enjoyed the second book in the series. Some great new characters and narrated well.

Enjoyable 2nd book

The Unhappy Medium 2 follows on from the first Unhappy Medium. Both are so imaginative and very creative. The clever use of the language and fantastic characters made me laugh out loud. It is supremely narrated by Marston York who gives amazing voices to everyone. I loved both and hope there’s a third soon.

So much fun!

Another entertaining and imaginative installment for the purgatorians. I'll definitely be purchasing Wretched Things when it's released in audiobook format

Looking forward to Book 3

Really enjoyed this book as I did his previous one, it gives history a new look in a fun, thoughtful way. And I enjoy looking up online the people/events referred to in the story.
