All good books need a voice that will bring you into the moment. Chase does it with ease and keeps you there.

lacking any real information

The author doesn't give any real infromation about ghost hunting, he talks a lot about how to organize a good group of people to go ghost hunting, but then doesn't say a think about the actual ghost hunt and what should go on in one. I know the book is short, but seriously? Their is no substance what so ever. The narration was good, but that's the only thing. Don't waste your time/money.

Awesome

Great ideas. Will implement in my next hunt. The readers voice was very alluring.

Project Management in Ghost Hunting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, approached as a basic fun scientific approach to ghost hunting. Has examples of how to write a ghost hunt Charter (the plan.) How to schedule the hunt (Gantt Chart) and how to utilize a Risk Matrix. Finally recycling the knowledge so the same mistakes don't repeat themselves in the Lessons Learned/Post Mortem. Its kind of a check-yourself, before you wreck-yourself approach.

No character

If you like Sam Elliot's type of vocals then this is for you. I thought is was perfect for the material.
