À propos de cet audio

There is an old, empty house in Devil's Cleave, a deep gorge that leads from the high moors down to the harbour village of Hollow Bay. The house is Crickley Hall and it's large and grim, somehow foreboding. It's rumoured to be haunted. It's thought to hold a secret. Despite some reservations, the Caleighs move in, searching for respite in this beautiful part of North Devon, seeking peace and perhaps to come to terms with what's happened to them as a family.

But all is not well with the house. They hear unaccountable noises. A cellar door they shut every night is always open again in the morning. They see things that cannot be real. The house is the last place the Caleighs should have come to, for the terror that unfolds is beyond belief. Soon they will discover the secret horror of Crickley Hall....

The narrator does a great job, but the story is just flat and predictable. All the usual clichés are there, haunted old house, family dealing with loss, kids that won't be believed, a psychic, a paranormal investigator, some spooky noises in the night, terrified dog, a murderous maniac, and annoying flash backs to the past that shed light on ghost mysteries, making them effectively less frightening. I love a good ghost story, but this one really lacked some soul, if not some real mysterious atmospheres. There is so much focus on action and excitement, almost none on the creepy and scary. The "Secret" of the novel isn't so secret, in fact it is obvious from the start, and the unraveling is slow and tedious.
A few loose ends are never really taken care properly, addressed in a quick line and dismissed. The last half of the book feels like a rushed lore dump, missing a lot of the opportunities set up in the first part.
