Publisher's summary

Ollie and Caro Harcourt are moving house with their 12-year-old daughter Jade. Ollie is desperate to leave the city. Caro is less sure. Then they view Cold Hill House, a dilapidated rural mansion, and fall instantly in love. It's expensive, but with its space, seclusion, and huge grounds, it seems like a brilliant idea.

That is, until they arrive.

It soon becomes apparent that they are not alone. A spectral woman appears on screens and walks the corridors, vanishing before she can be challenged. Strange occurrences become ever more common. Then Caro starts seeing faces, always looking out of the same upstairs window.

The room behind it could hold the key to the disturbing secret behind the house's mysterious past. Except for the fact that the room doesn't seem to exist....

spooky and well done

well read. good story. I enjoyed listening. I recommend giving this book a try. I will try some more books read by this narrator.

Great story.

I loved every bit of this classic style ghost story. Great writing. Great characters.
The only downside is that the husband Ollie is stupid. Lol
Otherwise this was an amazing story.

So Good!!!!!!!!!

Great story with just the right amount of twists and turns! This was a fantastic listen from start to finish, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic traditional haunted house

Love the story line so far. traditional family moves into haunted house with a haunted past, looking forward to book 2. Narrator was awesome

Spine-tingling with a welcome creep factor

What an audictively spooky listen! Paranormal is not my usual genre, however, from the beginning, author Peter James had me hooked. Narrator Nicholas Boulton is phenomenal! I can’t imagine another voice, hence the reason I won’t be getting Book #2 (lesson learned: listen to the complete audio sample. A poor narrator can indeed ruin a great book. Following a happy family as they make an attempt to renovate an old country house. Mystical events, past history is revealed. Time slips and slides, introducing us to a devious, charming and kind townsfolk, among others, as they try to help (or hinder?). Ross tells a story as he leads us on a paranormal investigation to find out why. Exceedingly well-done and subplots flow along at a prefect pace, fully keeping my attention. Never dull or a lull. Quite an unexpected and jaw-dropping ending. I am looking forward to more in this series featuring the accomplished vocals of Boulton. Highly worth a treasured credit. However, I chose this from Audible Plus catalogue at no cast. Lately, I’ve found sone hidden gems in Audible Plus; take advantage now! Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!

It has potential…

It was kinda all over the place at first but once the author pinned down the direction he wanted to go in I was sold. But the ending… no.

creepy!

This was a really good book! It was authentic the kind of story I like. The narrator did a great job.

Excellent story

I like the way the author had put the together I couldn’t quit reading it. It was a wonderful read, very enjoyable. Thank you.
