De: Chasity Bowlin

Narrado por: Lillian Yves

Communing with spirits has been both gift and curse to Emme Walters. Now it's made her a killer's target. Emme knows why the Dowager Duchess of Briarleigh invited her to a house party--to investigate whether the duke, Rhys Brammel, murdered his wife years ago. But Emme never imagined she would fall in love with the brooding duke. Branded by society as a possible killer, Rhys is suspicious of Emme and her alleged "gift." Then a late night encounter creates awareness of her other, more attractive, aspects. When Emme's life is threatened, Rhys becomes her protector. Emme and Rhys find passion and peril as they join forces to solve the mysteries at Briarleigh. She made him believe in spirits, but can she make him believe in love?

Pronounce the words right, Geez

Narrator is not even remotely in my top 10. I tolerated her and her mispronounced words. I have listened to this series before and on my second time. I enjoyed the story well enough. I like the author well enough and hope there are more as time goes. I’ve listened to her other series too.

I liked this story but I didn't love it.

The narrator did a good job especially with differentiation of characters especially impersonating male voices. Of course, she had all the other goodies down like cadence, flexion, emotion,etc. She delivered the kind of narration that made me feel like I was there and she just fell in the background as an separate entity. I suppose that is the goal of a good narrator; they are not supposed to be a distraction or overwhelm the listener.

In conclusion, the plot seemed tired to me although the paranormal aspect was a nice plot device. However, I thought the villains were pretty obvious from the start. The tale did have a good flow to it and I always like a story where the hero shows his love as Reece did in this novel. Overall, I am a fan of this author but this one wasn't my fav.

The Haunting of a Duke

This is a wonderful story filled with mystery, betrayal, friendship, love and the paranormal. The plot, storyline, was so intricately woven with detail after detail as the mystery was unraveled. It will hold your attention until the very end. I can't wait to get a hold of the follow-up story. Chastity Bowlin never disappoints. This was my first time listening to Lillian Yves as narrator. I became more accustomed to her cadence as the story moved along. She did a nice job of making the variety of voices sound believable... as in the differences between the various characters. 😀

what a ride!

I throughly enjoyed this audiobook...I found the characters wonderful & the storyline just drew me in. I loved the twist & turns along with having a mystery to solve, ghost, danger, suspense & a love story. What a ride i can't wait to start the next one!
I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Haunting of a Duke

I liked this book and I am looking forward to listening to the other books in this series. I like these paranormal type books mixed in with historical romance, they’re different and interesting.

The narrator had a voice that was easy to listen to but there wasn’t much difference between the male and female voices. That being said she still did a decent job at telling this story.
