Deep Night

Detective Harlan Ulrich, Book 1

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Kyle Tait

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.

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.

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.
