Publisher's Summary
The Times Audiobook of the Week
Opening up a world of magic and adventure, The Library of the Dead by T. L. Huchu is the first audiobook in the Edinburgh Nights series.
‘A fast-moving and entertaining tale, beautifully written’ – Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London
‘I highly recommend The Library of the Dead’ – Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series
When ghosts talk, she will listen . . .
Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker – and she now speaks to Edinburgh’s dead, carrying messages to the living. A girl’s gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someone’s bewitching children – leaving them husks, empty of joy and life. It’s on Ropa’s patch, so she feels honour bound to investigate. But what she learns will change her world.
She’ll dice with death (not part of her life plan . . .) as she calls on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. For Edinburgh hides a wealth of secrets. And in the process, she discovers an occult library and some unexpected allies. Yet as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted?
'Roll on the sequel' – The Times
'One of the strangest and most compelling fantasy worlds you'll see all year' – SFX

great new ideas & characters
some really novel fantasy elements and futurescapes. the characters are well sketched, with much room to grow and surprise us.

Loved it!
Beautifully narrated. A story that had rivetted from the beginning to the end. So many twists and turns and with a pinch of dark humour thrown in to boot.

DNF - narrator too hard to listen to
The story line seemed interesting and I wanted to keep going but the narration was too hard to listen to once I picked up on the repetitive intonation. No acting, just reading.

Terrible Narration
Had to abandon this and buy the book to read myself. I couldn't get beyond the narrator's voice so found it hard to actually concentrate on the story.
