About this listen

When American Lexi Maxwell buys a derelict mansion in a quaint English village and sets about turning it into a manor-house hotel, it’s a dream come true. But events take a turn for the bizarre, as a heartbroken ghost makes a nightly appearance and kneels beneath a tree next to a centuries-old ruin, and people in the village keep commenting on Lexi’s resemblance to a woman who’s been dead for a quarter of a century.

As Lexi tries to find out more about the man in the ruin, she unexpectedly stumbles upon secrets from her own past - secrets that threaten to destroy everything she’s come to believe and hold dear. As Lexi struggles to put the pieces of the puzzle together, she’s drawn deeper into the mystery and can only rely on the man she’s come to have deep feelings for - a man who’s battling his own demons.

Haunted Ground by Irina Shapiro pulled me in immediately with the vivid imagery and engaging characters. I loved how the author wove the twists in the book. The meshing of history with fiction is so well done. Joanne Long's performance brought the characters to life. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Wow!!! Incredible Listen

The story was good, which kept me listening but, those accents. As a Brit, it was abysmal. Please stop and just read the story!

Great storyline

I like !rina Shapiro's books. I find them interesting and entertaining. I either like the characters or I don't as they are well described and believable. Having read this novel I wasn't sure about listening to a story I had recently read, as I am fairly new to Audible.. However I enjoyed listening to the story just as much if not more.

Another Good Read!

I am a huge fan of time slip novels and this one hit the spot. Good characters and a great story as always with a book from Irina. I love listening to audio books particularly on my drive to and from work. This is one of those books that I shall listen to more than once. Highly recommended.

Another winner from Irina

If you're British I suggest you listen to the sample first .I found the narrators awful English and Scottish accents really distracting .I love this author and will be buying the book but if it was my first by her I may not be saying the same thing .

Loved the story.

Lexi is drawn to a town in England and a Manor house she keeps dreaming of. Her parents try to discourage her from finding it but she pushes on. Lexi finally finds the home and purchases it to start her new hotel. During the renovations she starts seeing a ghost and a tomb is found in a hidden part of the basement. Lexi must find out more about these things but no one in town wants to talk. Joanne Long does a nice job on the narration.

1650: England has been decimated by Civil War. Charles l has been executed and Oliver Cromwell is relentless in the slaughter of those who stand in the way of his Commonwealth. Tired of the killing, a disillusioned Brendan Carr, deserts his post and heads for home. His homecoming is marred by the discovery that his father is dead, his sister widowed and he has been disinherited. His vindictive brother Jasper, now lord of the estate, refuses to shelter him lest the Roundheads come for him.

Brendan decides to leave and take refuge with his mother’s kin. Not satisfied with usurping Brendan’s inheritance, Jasper sends men to kill Brendan before he reaches his destination. Brendan survives the attack but is seriously wounded. Sheltered by a priest, Brendan is nursed back to health by his Aunt’s niece Rowan. With Cromwell’s men scouring the country for him for desertion as well as his malicious brother, does Brendan stand any chance of happiness?

Present Day: Following the death of her father, Lexie Maxwell fulfils a lifelong dream to move to England. Purchasing a derelict mansion in a quaint English village with the intention of turning it into a manor-house hotel, Lexie is intrigued by the rumoured ghost which supposedly haunts the ruins accompanying the mansion. As Lexie tries to find out more about the man in the ruin, she unexpectedly stumbles across secrets from her own past that threatens all that she holds dear.

Haunted Ground is a stand alone dual time novel set in the 17th century during Cromwell’s Reign of Terror. The author has a wonderful knack for transporting her readers to the past and this book was no exception. I found myself completely immersed from the tragic prologue to the satisfying epilogue where at least one villain got his comeuppance. The characters were well defined and relatable. I was impressed with the stunning vivid imagery depicted by the author which made me feel that I was there seeing the sights and sounds.

All in all this was a well crafted suspenseful novel which will appeal to fans of historical fiction, with a touch of paranormal and a Scotsman to boot - what’s not to like?

I received an advanced free audible copy of Haunted Ground and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed by Joanne Long’s smooth and concise narration. Her excellent pacing had me getting lost in her recitation without ever noticing the time.

Engaging dual time novel
