Good idea, average execution

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This story is a mixture of a ghost story and a witch's tale. It starts out well but then turns into something resembling and episode of 'Charmed'. It remains mildly entertaining but not what I expected from the description.

Is a Herbalist a Witch?

First off, this book is not for those with a fear of flying as the first hour, would pretty much send a phobic into mild cardiac arrest!

A pilot loses 39 of his passengers when his plane crashes. Suffering from PSD he moves with his wife and twin girls to the country. While doing up his new house he finds a mysterious basement door, barricaded shut with 39 carriage bolts, oh, and don't you know that the previous tenants had twins and one of them died mysteriously!!!

Chilling story

If you could sum up The Night Strangers in three words, what would they be?

Gripping, cold and chilling.

What other book might you compare The Night Strangers to, and why?

Difficult to compare this book really but for me the spell binding quality of Stephen King's Dead Zone springs readily to mind

Which character – as performed by Mark Bramhall and Alison Fraser – was your favourite?

The character of Chip was very well done.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me gulp at the end.

Any additional comments?

You know how you expect a book to give you a happy ending? Well this story doesn't and it really bites you in the backside. The final epilogue is chilling more for what it leaves to the imagination than anything else.
A bit slow to start and maybe even repetitive about the airline crash but ... well when it gets going fantastic!

Excellently creepy!

What made the experience of listening to The Night Strangers the most enjoyable?

An excellent choice of voices to narrate this story made it all the more enjoyable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Difficult to say really. Chips' suffering in the aftermath of the crash was so well written I was easy to see his mental state as it was.

What about Mark Bramhall and Alison Fraser ’s performance did you like?

I'd not heard these actors before and their work on this book was brilliant. Excellent choices for the characters portrayed.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yeah. All of it.

Any additional comments?

Didn't expect the ending at all. Brilliant!

Don't bother!

This is the worst book I've had from audible, the story is turgid and keeps re-telling the pilot's ordeal, but without adding anything new to the story or his experience. There is very little suspense in what could be a classic ghost tale, and whilst I won't ruin the end for you, it's so lame you will wish you hadn't bothered. There is a moment which reminds me of the film Hot Fuzz, it becomes that farcical. Frankly I think an intelligent 12 year old could have come up with something more creative and interesting. If you buy this book you will feel very short changed!
