Brilliant!... except for one thing.

Where does Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter - The Tollington Hall Case, The Ancient Burial Barrow, Lord Wentworth's Statue and Professor Taylor's Final Experiment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I highly enjoyed the dramatic retelling in the old radio play style.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter - The Tollington Hall Case, The Ancient Burial Barrow, Lord Wentworth's Statue and Professor Taylor's Final Experiment?

The chilling moments as the investigators realised the truth about Lord Wentworth's infatuation with his new acquisition.

Did Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Players do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, it was excellent. The character acting and writing easily rendered each character distinguishable from the rest.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

The performances were largely good, very professional - but the lead male playing the young chemist sidekick of Jarrem Lee was a let down. A highly mobile accent and awkward delivery detracted from the overall high quality of the performance. I will still be looking out for more of these shows, but I sincerely hope that experience improves his performance.

I loved it

I've been looking for something like this hunting the supernatural that is what I love

wish it was longer!

these are only about 15 min each. I just go through them too fast. darn!

Paranormal Excellence!

What made the experience of listening to Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter - The Tollington Hall Case, The Ancient Burial Barrow, Lord Wentworth's Statue and Professor Taylor's Final Experiment the most enjoyable?

The voice acting and script writing. These shows are incredibly well acted. You actually believe Lee and Bennett are about to do battle with demonic and paranormal forces. The writing is top notch. The stories are immensely enjoyable and feel authentic, from the listing of the occult tomes, the talismans, herbs of protection etc. it feels like I am a 1900s occult investigator!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, very much so! I was in constant suspense waiting for the conclusion and climax of how Lee and Bennett would solve their current investigation.

Which character – as performed by Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Players – was your favorite?

Jerry Robbins is just amazing as Jerram Lee. His delivery is near perfect, especially with Lee's first introduction to Bennett in the Tollington Hall Case. David Allie (not sure of the spelling) was excellent as the sidekick Bennett. The rest of the players all did phenomenal acting as well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I certainly chuckled at some of the lighter exchanges between Lee and Bennett and was certainly cheering for them as well!

just like old programs!

I enjoyed this program greatly perfect for a night with nothing better to watch or listen to. I do wish the stories were a but more intensive but overall I enjoyed everything about it especially for the price get it for some old fashioned radio fun
