The Secret of Crickley Hall

The book should be called "The Secrets of Crickley Hall" as there is much to find out about this depressing and creepy vacation home. Herbert's dark and stormy night tale of tragedy and suspense is narrated perfectly by Rintoul. I found Rintoul's narration in some parts bordering on theatrical, I would score it as 4.5 if we could give half stars. The story has many layers which made it a "page turner" for me. Overall a great ghost story.

I've read and enjoyed others, so maybe.

Probably a John Connolly mystery.

He was ok.

Oh, that is funny. The whole thing needs an editor to pare it down by half. It never seemed to end.

I love a good ghost story. Sadly, this isn't one. The characters are stupid waaaay past the point of disbelief. I felt smothered with foreshadowing that never really came to much. The only mystery here is why this story went on so long.

David Rintoul is an amazing narrator! Such an engaging listen. I will definitely seek out his books.

Can't wait for the BBC show!

Enthralling ghost story and a wonderful narrator. A definite "page turner, edge of your seat" kind of book. Loved it!

Touches every fear

The Haunted by Bickley Little
Tells of a tortured, purely evil soul bent on terrorizing it's occupants.

No I haven't heard any of his other performances but I truly enjoyed him in this book.

I did but it also wasn't too hard to put it down as needed, rewind it a little when I got a chance and finish it up.

Well I couldnt stop listening till the end and thats a good book to me. Once I got over the annoying fathers attitude , but he came right after a while .There's alot of inner mind thinking by the characters which actually helps the story at first i thought it would hinder the flow of the book. A true ghost story with a good ending.

The book is a little slow. It really needs to pick up the pace and intrigue the readers interest. However, the voice makes it even more quiet and boring. It needs a little more oomph! Good ghost story but could be much better.

More character voice changes and more intonation changes in reading. It just needs more emotion with a voice that captures the reader.

I never read the print version but the narration was wonderful and for me, brought the story alive.

Yes, I love James Herbert. This was the first time listening to an audio book by him.

I enjoyed the scene where Lily the psychic was there with the children watching everything that was going on as if she were there. It was a bit graphic and disturbing but really puts things in perspective.

Laugh if you want but it was when the dog came home. I don't want to go into any detail and spoil the story.

While this was not an excellent read it was an enjoyable one. It was not so much a spooky ghost story for me as it was feeling like I was part of the family and getting to know the characters. It was a nice escape read.

I really enjoyed this book, loved the narrator, I could imagine the whole book and scenery.. great expression to his characters.. I was disappointed when it finished and hoped the writer had more similar long listen books.. If you buy this book im sure you will enjoy
