Resumen del Editor

A debut novel full of magic, adventure, and romance, The Book of Doors opens up a thrilling world of contemporary fantasy for fans of The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Night Circus, and any modern story that mixes the wonder of the unknown with just a tinge of darkness.

Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life. Until the day one of her favorite customers—a lonely yet charming old man—dies right in front of her. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing but the last book he was reading.

But this is no ordinary book…

It is the Book of Doors.

Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door. You just need to know how to open them.

Then she’s approached by a gaunt stranger in a rumpled black suit with a Scottish brogue who calls himself Drummond Fox. He’s a librarian who keeps watch over a unique set of rare volumes. The tome now in Cassie’s possession is not the only book with great power, but it is the one most coveted by those who collect them.

Now Cassie is being hunted by those few who know of the Special Books. With only her roommate Izzy to confide in, she has to decide if she will help the mysterious and haunted Drummond protect the Book of Doors—and the other books in his secret library’s care—from those who will do evil. Because only Drummond knows where the unique library is and only Cassie’s book can get them there.

But there are those willing to kill to obtain those secrets. And a dark force—in the form of a shadowy, sadistic woman—is at the very top of that list.

Editorial Review

Equal parts adventure and fantasy
Seeing Miranda Raison (who exceptionally narrated one of my favorites, Lessons in Chemistry) as the performer, plus the stunning cover in The Book of Doors was all the convincing it took for me to download the title. The story is centered on Cassie Andrews, a bookstore employee who inherits a mysterious book with strange inscriptions from an elderly customer who was very dear to her. Shorty after Cassie discovers how to use the book—which can open a door to anyplace she desires—she’s approached by Drummond Fox, a librarian who not only claims that there is danger coming for Cassie, but that he is the only one who can help. The Book of Doors is equal parts adventure and fantasy that, combined with Raison’s stellar performance, has left me wondering if we will hear more about other "books" from debut author Gareth Brown. — Audible Editor, Patty R.

SOOOO GOOD!!!

This story was, easily, one of my favorite books to date, and I have 637 books in my audible library. The narration was spot on, each individual character identifiable and believable. Definitely one of those reads that leaves you with a “it’s over??” type of hangover. Much to my disappointment, there is not, YET, another book to go to, by this author. Well worth the time and credit!!

provocative Sci fi tale

I don't usually read Sci fi novels. the Book of Doors was a delightful exception, full of interesting characters, plot twists and curious interpretations about what we seek most in our lives. the narration was excellent.

was not sure about liking it

I was wrong. It was a very good story. Glad I bought it. I am not very into fantasy. Enjoyed the characters and their journey,

The "Doors" of our lives

A twisted and interesting novel of time, loss, adventure & evil. I don't think Ive read a novel quite like this ever... Narrator, Mirinda Raison was excellent, capturing the different personalities of the multiple characters. The writing was amazing! A convoluted tale that was 95% completed. Have to wonder if a sequel is coming? I would definitely read it.

WOW!

This book was soooo good! I hadn't even heard of it. I was just browsing something to listen to and took a chance. I highly recommend it. I suggest going into as blind as possible and that's all I'm going to say. Def worth the credit and time. I really hope this becomes a series!

Absolutely Brilliant...

One of the best books so far this year. It's dark, intelligent and full of wonder. Beautifully imagined and perfectly narrated. Highly recommend. I give it 10 stars.
