Very Enjoyable Listen

I truly enjoyed this book. I liked the paranormal element mixed with the period murder mystery. Both things I enjoy! The paranormal aspect wasn't overwhelming or too ghoulish. It was just right. I hope there will be more books about the same main characters.

War, love and ghosts

Excellent book and performance. I really hope there will be a second book with the main characters. The ghost part adds a gothic element of fear and unknown but it’s really a World War I , spy and love story. So enjoyable and touching in so many ways. Reminds me of Foyle’s War ( even though different World War), how everyone is affected by the war but must carry on.

Great little ghostly mystery

Has a very Agatha Christie feel and a truly authenticWWII haunted sensibility, just add ghosts.

Mystery with ghosts, not a ghost story

This book is slightly better than a cozy, and may become a series based on the ending. The review says very little about the story line, essentially, an early nineteenth century career woman is teamed up with an army officer to investigate spies who have infiltrated the British arms industry. While the mansion does have real ghosts, the story does not depend on a supernatural theme, it is more like the ghosts play a minor role in a cast of characters. Not sure why Agatha Christie was mentioned in some reviews, this is not Ten Little Indians. It is a refreshing change of pace. Worth a credit.

I really liked this audiobook!

I wish this were the first in a series instead of a stand alone novel. It's more supernatural murder mystery than horror and a very good listen. Narrator was superb!

An enjoyable ghost and spy thriller

While not too complex, this is a very enjoyable and unusual period mystery. Combining WWI, spiritualism, actual ghosts and a good espionage-based mystery, it keeps you entertained. Great performance as well.

Too Slow

I kept waiting for the pace to pick up and the scary stuff to really happen. it never picked up and was very boring, in my opinion. This is definitely not a book for everyone
