About this listen
When Olivia James receives a phone call just after midnight, she recognizes her brother's voice. But there's a problem: Her brother has been dead for the past nine weeks. Moving back to her old childhood home in Tennessee - the place where her brother has just died - her young daughter, Teddy, seems troubled, telling her mother that she's being visited by a menacing ghost. When another tragic death occurs and her daughter disappears, Olivia must confront the demonic force that has cursed her family.

Good story

This was a very creepy horror story, because the the killer was around but never seen and I think that makes the story a lot more creepy, its spooky and sad too, never thought it would twist and turn like it did highly recommend this story.

I have nothing against the timbre of her voice, the gravelly-quality can be a bit grating at times, but once you're into the story you're able to overlook that. What bugs me is that almost every single female character in the book sounded the same. Her child voices are always really 'whiney' and annoying (even thought the character itself mightn't be) Olivia's interactions with Amelia I found almost stressful because I was craning my neck to hear which one was speaking and when.
Her narration aside though, if you aren't bothered by not being entirely sure which woman is which, this story is great. I loved the ending, I thought it was emotive and sweet, given the material which came before it. If you're interested in human psychology, mourning loved ones, old houses and detectives definitely give this one a go.
Good, enjoyable story, let down by narrator
