Publisher's summary

The ethereal mists blurred Lucy Finnley’s vision, and the murmurings within the wind made her uneasy. However, she had no choice other than to leave the city and take up residence at the Jack Rabbit Inn on the high moor. As she stepped over the threshold, she was aware of the history, legends, and malevolent spirits lingering within the fabric of the building. At least she could escape the trouble brewing in the rest of the world.

Down below, in the valley, lies Hawks Rise on the Moor. Here many secrets hide beneath the veil of respectability, and it is expected that everyone attends the church on Sundays where the Vicar shakes the still air with his sermons of damnation against the evils of an ancient tribe.

Slipping back in time, Henry Mulberry, heir to Mulberry hall, views the moor through troubled eyes. He is responsible for huge swathes of land along with the tenants. Dealing with Irish squatters, a stone quarry, and mines are the least of his problems. The more pressing issues lie with his wayward younger brother Oscar, his irascible ailing father George, and Abbott Mathew. He has little time to pursue matters of the heart or any other desires.

The hunt continues. Who will win the witches or the witchfinders?

This book may be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Five books in and its not enough

"Crossroad Burials," the fifth installment in E.M.G. Wixley's Witchfinder Series, is an audiobook experience that left me utterly spellbound! Narrated by the exceptionally talented Nigel Peever, this paranormal masterpiece takes you on a journey through time, history, and the ethereal moors like never before.

From the moment Lucy Finnley and her daughter Bella step foot into the Jack Rabbit Inn, you're drawn into a world where the line between reality and the supernatural is delightfully blurred. Nigel Peever's narration is nothing short of a symphony for the ears. His rich, resonant voice weaves a tapestry of suspense, intrigue, and spine-tingling excitement that elevates the story to new heights. Peever's ability to give distinct voices to the multitude of characters is a testament to his extraordinary talent, making each one feel real and unforgettable.

E.M.G. Wixley's writing is a true marvel. Her words possess an uncanny ability to transport you into the heart of the moors, where legends, malevolent spirits, and secrets intertwine seamlessly. Wixley's storytelling is not just immersive; it's profoundly thought-provoking. Her multi-layered plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, while the action unfolds at a breathless pace. As for her characters, they are vividly brought to life with intricate development, making you care deeply about their fates.

"Crossroad Burials" takes us on a journey through time and space, where the past and present merge in a way that's both mesmerizing and chilling. The concept of the eternal portal in the fireplace, fueled by the intersecting ley lines, is a stroke of genius that adds a layer of mystique to the story. The inn's haunting, the enigmatic villagers, and the unforgettable ghosts create an atmosphere of spine-tingling suspense that will linger long after you've finished listening.

Even if you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the previous books in the series, "Crossroad Burials" stands strong as a standalone tale, though I must warn you, it leaves you hanging on a tantalizing cliffhanger that will leave you yearning for more. E.M.G. Wixley is a science fiction and paranormal maestro, and her writing is nothing short of phenomenal.

In the realm of audiobooks, Nigel Peever's performance in "Crossroad Burials" is a masterpiece in itself. His ability to infuse life and depth into the characters, combined with Wixley's spellbinding narrative, is a match made in audiobook heaven. As a reader, it doesn't get any better than this.

I love this author. Listening to all of his books. Love them all. It's making all story so real. Love it.

What a great book!

Lucy and Bella finally get a sanctuary from all the previous chaos at least that’s what she thinks when she moved into a pub called the Jack rabbit in. Sadly there is more craziness in store oh friends new ghosts in a big problem in the hearth. It doesn’t just keep Lucy’s new in warm it’s also a portal for more craziness. Will Lucy and Bella ever get to live without the ghosts and all the things that want to harm them. I have read every book in this series and this one ended in a way that makes me think that will be a book 8 and I can’t wait. E M G Wicksley is my favorite science fiction paranormal writer. She has the most awesome way of wording things that keeps it interesting and sometimes it’s just plain profound and makes you think. I love her books I love this one and will love the next one! This author is a hidden gem and one I feel so blessed to be able to treasure, but I am fan Girling so I will stop I highly recommend this book go read it it’s awesome! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Nigel Peever the narrator he was awesome as always

Great book !!!

Overall it's an excellent addition to anyone's library. The book is an easy read.Great story 😉

great story and characters

i really liked the story and the characters. it makes me want to read the rest of the series (this was my introduction). the narrator was also great! the effects are a distraction though. this would be great for a road trip but hard to concentrate on the story if you're doing something else while listening. will be checking out more for sure.

Abridged Narration

LOVED the Narrator's voice & performance. I got confused a time or 2 on what was going on (I was multitasking) in the story. Willing to follow this series and see what adventures awaits!
