Summary

Recovering from the recent tragedy of his wife's death in a cliff fall, Tony Sheridan goes to stay with his sister-in-law, Lucy, and her husband at their new home - Otherways - a strange circular, moated house. Disturbed by memories of his wife and a growing attraction to Lucy, Sheridan is also troubled by weird and vivid dreams. And as he and Lucy embark on a secret and passionate affair, Sheridan begins uncovering the truth about Otherways.

Just excellent

Robert Goddard is truly a master story teller. His books don’t seem to age. The clever way he weaves elements of History into his narrative, makes the story completely believable and enthralling. The supernatural elements in this story did not put me off / even those were totally believable.
I’ve never been disappointed by his stories and can listen to them more than once, which pleasure!

Kitchen is made for this!

Not Goddard ‘ s best I think but still a very strong plot and narrative. Michael kitchen ‘s performance is excellent.

Really good story

I think Michael Kitchen is the very best narrator for Robert Goddard books.
This was a really enjoyable listen, as I do like RG storytelling

Poor Editing

I so wanted award 5 stars for this book but, what let down was the poorly clipped editing; on a number of occasions which, I found distracting.

Definitely worth a listen

Lots of twists and turns, I love Michael Kitchen’s narration. There were times that I felt it was a bit slow, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A unique and tensetale

There was so much going on in this action packed story. The storyline is very unique, with lots of twists that you don't see coming. A brilliant tale and very well narrated.

Another great book by Robert Goddard

Another great story from Robert Goddard, as you would expect, superbly narrated by Michael Kitchen. I have greatly admired Michael’s acting ability over the years and he carries his talent effortlessly into audio. I hope I will hear more from them both in the future.

Fascinating plot

Michael Kitchen’ s narration is perfect again. A compelling plot that fascinates and unfolds in an elegant dance of truths, alternate truths and lies.
There is an irritating problem with the editing- frequent skips, jumps and gaps get in the way of the flow.

Very poorly edited

I am halfway through what is so far an intriguing story completely ruined by poor editing. Several times now the story has been cut short, I've no idea how much Ive missed. It is probably only seconds but it's very distracting.

Complex shenanigans...

...with fascinating and unexpected threads to follow on the way to an oddly believable conclusion
