About this listen
The Spirits of Exeter House are Restless
Facing tough times, private investigator Harlan Ulrich takes a job looking after a historic downtown building as a favor to an old acquaintance who's out on business. Settling into the elegant Exeter House for a week-long stay, Ulrich's apartment is beautifully furnished and situated on the top floor, giving him a great view of the city. At first, he thinks it a wonderful opportunity. He's got plenty of coffee, good books to read and the whole building to himself.
At least, that's what he's been told.
It turns out there are others there, in the seemingly empty building. Dark entities that lurk in its shadowed corners.
During his first night, strange things begin to occur. As he makes his nightly rounds, ensuring that the old building is free of intruders, Ulrich finds the place transformed. By day, Exeter House is a treasured local institution. By night, it crawls with the frightening souls of the hateful dead. Tormented nightly by a number of mysterious specters, it's all the investigator can do to hold onto his sanity.
Can Harlan Ulrich tap into the building's dreadful past and quell the spirits that walk its halls, or will he lose his mind trying? Join him as he seeks answers in Medicine for the Dead, a full-length novel of supernatural terror and suspense.
Medicine for the Dead is the second book in the Ulrich Files series by Ambrose Ibsen.

gritty, spine chillingWho was your favorite character and why?
Harlan Ulrich, the way the narrator Jake Urry makes him sounds like he come straight out of a film noir from the 60's minus the alcoholAny additional comments?
Ulrich is a tea total P.I. down on his luck, with more money than sense when it comes to his finances and he's got very little money..after being evicted from his apartment after blowing what little he did have on a top of the range coffer filter and grinder instead of paying his rent, he contacts his old school buddy who has just finished refurbishing some 5 star apartments in an old building above a bar in the center of Toledo and needs someone to stay in one of them and keep an eye on the place whilst he goes on a business trip for a week, giving time for Ulrich to get himself together whilst living in the lap of luxury, what seemed like a lucky break turns into a nightmare as Ulrich fights for his life while trying to find out what the hell is going on!this is the first book I've listen to from either author Ambrose Ibsen or narrator Jake Urry and even though this is the second book in the series you don't miss a beat and is easily taken as a stand alone book,
the tempo of the story was good as it slowly ramped up the suspense and I wasn't found wanting at the finish of the tale.
would recommend!
sometimes something IS too good to be true

The detail wraps you up and create pictures that are clear and vivid images of what he describes. Not going to say too much, but I can say there are some odd, weird creatures in this book.
The protagonist is really a great guy. He is a stress eater, a teetotaler and a Private Investigator that struggles with money. I love his conversations with himself. He is his own worse critic. I get tickled at him when he starts that negative talk. He is a huge Sinatra fan, you can't beat that!
The narration, by Jake Urry, it is to me, just perfect. The voices are just so spot on. He has a full range of voices that he uses to convey the spirit of the story. The characters in the story all have distinct accents and tones.
Story and Narration really kept me riveted.

I'm becoming quite a fan of Harlan now. We get to see a bit more of his kind side this time, as he becomes quite attached to a cat. His self-deprecating internal monologues are pretty funny.
Similar to 'The Sick House', the first book in the series, the plot turns into an exciting supernatural murder mystery without too much gore, but which is nicely creepy and atmospheric.
The narration was excellent again. It is apparent that Jake Urry is in his element with these menacing, suspenseful storylines. Really great listening.
I received the audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.
Haunting paranormal suspense story

I loved it! It was heart racingly scary in parts, and just down right dark in others.
The narrator JAKE URRY had just the voice needed for this book, I am not sure I would have been able to get the character myself , the voice, made it eerie which added to the dark supernatural happenings.
I would buy this for my more believing friends as it would seem a little far fetched for my non believer of spirits friends.
Overall it was a maze of people , apparitions and fear. Definitely a book not to miss.
Heart racing in many parts
