The Black Book of Secrets

De: F.E. Higgins

Narrado por: James Daniel Wilson

When Ludlow Fitch's parents cruelly betray him, he steals away to the country. He arrives in a remote village, where he meets the tall and limping figure of Joe Zabbidou - a pawnbroker with a difference. For Joe trades secrets, not goods. Employed as Joe's assistant, Ludlow records the villagers' fiendish confessions in an ancient leather-bound volume: The Black Book of Secrets.

There's the gravedigger who has been resurrecting bodies; the butcher who made a mouse-meat pie; the wizened bookseller who went to murderous lengths to get her hands on a priceless tome. Ludlow longs to trust his mysterious master, but he senses Joe has much to hide. But then Ludlow Fitch has his own, very dark, secrets...

Excellent Story with Good Narration

This is a fascinating story, well told and read skillfully with a very satisfying ending. I loved reading the paper book and this audio reading did not disappoint.

Great narration!

Story slow and quite boring. Really enjoyed the narration, but the story left more to be desired. More YA than scary adult novel.
