About this listen
When Joss, an adopted child, discovers that her real mother has left the beautiful family home, Belheddon Hall, to her, she is thrilled, until she discovers that the Hall is haunted by a presence which will not tolerate husbands or sons living in the house.
Joss Grant is eager to begin a new life when she inherits Belheddon Hall. She brings her husband, Luke, and their small son, Tom, to the dilapidated house, and sets about discovering her family roots.
But not long after they move in, Tom wakes screaming at night. Joss hears echoing voices and senses an invisible presence watching her from the shadows. Are they spirits from the past? As she learns, with mounting horror, of Belheddon’s tragic history, she realises that both her family and her own sanity are at the mercy of a violent and powerful energy that seems beyond anyone’s control.

An intriguing Ghost story
For those who are interested in haunted houses and history I recommend this chilling ghost story. Barbara Erskine has a way of writing that makes you want to find out what happens next. I became quite spooked by some parts of the story that I had to listen during the day! Narrator tells the story well setting the mood.

A nice, spooky tale
I really enjoyed this book, but wish it was unabridged. I felt it was missing a lot of the historical story that is usually so detailed in her other books. Loved the spooky voice effects!

A hard slog
I found the constant calling of the characters names irritating beyond belief. It was a struggle to listen to the end. The story would have been much more interesting if it had focused more on the ghostly characters and their history, because the story picked up pace when that occurred. There were no great surprises to this story and I would have returned it if I hadn’t returned the previous book I read.
