Resumen del Editor

IT COMES AT NIGHT

Pawn shop owner Nancy Pruitt is being stalked. Every night since bringing a mysterious painting into her home, she's been awakened by a rapping at her bedroom window. What's more, the nightly visitor seems to bear quite the resemblance to a figure in her new painting....

Enter Harlan Ulrich: Coffee-fueled eccentric and private detective.

Running from a ghost-filled past, Ulrich settles down in Tanglewood, Ohio, hoping to turn a new leaf and put the supernatural behind him.

But upon getting involved with Nancy's case, the detective realizes he may have just gotten wrapped up in precisely the kind of investigation he's been trying to avoid.

DEEP NIGHT is a novel of supernatural suspense, the first in the Detective Harlan Ulrich series.

A different type of mystery.

This is a mystery with a twist. I enjoyed it, but have it 3 stars because I figured out the “who done it” way too early.

Ibsen NEVER disappoints!!!!!

Another amazing page turner!!! Ibsen is my all time favorite author and this is another one if his masterpieces!!!!

First Read of this Author

As ghost stories go it developed a little slow but picked up near the end. The narration was good. I willread another book in this series.

Great Story & Narration

The narration by Kyle Tait was great, brings from the first pages, the emotion of fear, this woman has. Nancy wondered why after 20 years of living in this house, would this tapping be happening. PI Harlan is once again drawn to a case with the supernatural. Nancy is a pawn shop owner and the painting she recently brought home, is there a connection. First I have read anything by this author and did enjoy. The audio was great, of which I got an ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Disappointment

The story itself was promising initially. That's why I decided to check it out. But the writing was clumsy, amateurish, and the dialogue seemed like cookie cutter cliches. The performance was wooden but he really did not have much to work with. And the plot itself turned into a totally predictable yawn. This is the first in a series. I wont be listening to any of the other books. By the way, the author set my teeth on edge right off the bat. Cat companions in books are typically great. However, Torties and Calicos are female, not male. Having a male tortie shows the author didnt even know that much about cats.

Good simple mystery story

Good book to listen to while working. Very predictable ending but it was a good listen.

Deep Night is Entertaining!

I loved listening to this book! The narrator's voice seemed to bring the detective alive! The plot fit the spirit and the lack of clues, until the house break-in, was in sync to a ghost leading the way. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Ambrose Ibsen is a Master of Horror

A Pawn Shop owner named Nancy Pruitt is being stalked.....by seemingly no one. Knocks on her doors and windows at night, but when she hires a detective, Harlan Ulrich, he hears the knocks and finds no one there. No footprints, no sign that anyone was there.

Harlan has just moved to the town of Tanglewood, Ohio. Running from a ghostly past, this case is the last thing her needs. Finally, the nightly visitor's apparition appears and seems very familiar.....it's the same image as a woman in a painting that Nancy has recently purchased for her Pawn Shop, but decides to put it in her home.

Kyle Tait did a great job on the narration, keeping the tension going, as well as capturing some of the exasperation of Detective Ulrich.

As with all of Ibsen's books, this will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Deep Night

Book 1 in the Detective Harlan Ulrich Series. Plot. Nancy brings a landscape painting home from the pawnshop she owns and immediately begins to be harassed by a ghost - the woman who appears in the painting—tapping on Nancy's window, standing in the shadows of her yard, entering the house! Police investigate and find nothing. Enter Detective Harlan Ulrich, a single, middle-aged cat owner, who lives alone, eats junk food and loves good coffee. Nancy hires Ulrich to help her solve the ghostly mystery.

Liked. No sex, no explicit language; gift it to grandma if she likes ghostly mysteries. Narration is fine, nothing exceptional, but very listenable. Ulrich is a good character development to begin a series.

Not so hot. Bumped the speed to 1.4 - not a complaint, more a preference. Deep Night is just over six hours of listening - a bit short for my taste.

Written by Ambrose Ibsen, narrated by Kyle Tait, in unabridged audiobook format, released in June 2019 by Ambrose Ibsen (self-published).

Considering the sea of self-published garbage out there, this one is one of the hidden gems.

Recommended.

Great

Well developed characters. Neat well plotted mystery. Looking forward to more books in the series
