Publisher's summary

Ellen and her two best friends share a mid-life crisis by hatching a plan to renovate an 1860s Greek revival in the nearby historic district of San Antonio.

Although Ellen isn't one to believe in ghosts, she comes face to face with something inexplicable in the attic. Her ghost-enthusiast friends convince her that they must help the spirit find closure, and as they dig deeper into the past, they uncover a shocking history that someone in the neighborhood doesn't want exposed.

But Ellen and her friends don't give up easily. They realize they've been called to give voice to the invisible women who suffered behind the walls of the house for decades.

An interesting start to a mystery series

This was a different mystery than I am used to. The narrator did a pretty good job. There were a few times I couldn’t distinguish who was talking but overall it was good. The three main friends were good but there were times when they got a little bland and I spaced out a bit. I liked getting to learn the history of the house and about its past along with those who used to live in it. At times the pacing got a little slow and bogged down in certain details it I did enjoy their friendships and wanted to know what would happen next. There were some twists I didn’t see coming but the ending felt a little rushed and unrealistic for the trauma some of the characters had been through. Over all I did enjoy this audio book and am curious to see what happens to these three friends next. The author had a good story and an intriguing start to a series.

I received this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review.

Very Enjoyable!

This was my first audio book from this author and I really enjoyed it! The story kept my interest and kept me wanting to find out what happened next. I loved the characters and thought I would like to hear of more adventures of Ellen,Sue and Tonya.

Ghostly figures and a house full of secrets

This mystery story is sure to keep you entertained. Three board empty-nesters plan to buy the Greek style Gold House in the historic district of San Antonio, and restore it to its former 1860’s glory. Ghostly figures, hidden treasure, a shocking history and a house full of secrets makes this flip project much more challenging and dangerous than the girls could ever have expected.
Ellen, Sue and Tanya are all believable characters with every day problems and unique personalities. They are believable and life like. When they encounter a ghostly presence and the dark, convoluted history of the house, their nerves are stretched and their curiosity aroused. I loved that they did not back down from the challenge and worked to both solve the mystery and expose the houses secrets. The author herself narrated the audiobook and she did a great job. She gave the characters individual voices and enhanced my enjoyment of the story. This is an enjoyable mystery story with likeable, authentic people and a house full of secrets.

Bland

I wasn't drawn into this story. The reading was stilted, the accents strained. Disappointed.

Fantastic storyteller & narrator!

Secrets of the Greek Revival was my introduction to Eva Pohler. I was hesitant going in since Pohler was both author and narrator on the project. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised by just how great of a job she did.

The story was filled with twists and turns with secrets revealed that I did not see coming. I gave the story 3 stars because I felt like the story could have ended sooner. With the number of storylines within the main story, it was necessary to finish but it seemed a bit drawn out.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the story and narration. I will be looking for additional stories in the series.

Quick Listen

The narrator (who is the author) did a good job. I do have to say that the police should have been called more than once in this story. I did enjoy the story and the 3 main characters and plan to check out more in this series.

Good listening

I enjoyed this book very much. It kept me on the edge of me interested all the way to the end. I wished it would’ve had a little stronger ending but it was a good it fit to the story. All in all it’s a good listening book and I would suggest it to anyone.
