Another Great Kate Mosse Book!

The Winter Ghosts is in some ways very different from Kate's previous books, but also similar in other ways. It is a great "read/listen" and I highly recommend it!

loved it!

what a great story. the characters are well developed and the story moves along nicely.

Deadly boring

I'm not sure there's a plot here. Just self involved ruminations by a young man regarding his dead brother. There's no suspense and no "ghosts". The only interest was the setting in rural France which does give a touch of "atmosphere." Unfortunately the narrator is a boring as the "story."

Terrible narration

What disappointed you about The Winter Ghosts?

The narrator has such a thick accent that you cannot understand a word he says. I stopped listening within 15 minutes of starting so I have no idea if this would be a good story or not.

A Bit Boring

I didn't really enjoy this book. Kate writes really well, but I think this story was a bit of a flop. Nothing really happened that wasn't already anticipated. I normally love her books, but this one was not for me!
