Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17,088
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

For 20 years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now this sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 233
When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro "Bear" MacLawry isn't sure what impresses him more - the girl's sure aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the Highlands with her half sister to escape an unwanted wedding and wants no part of him or any man. But he can't abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued wildcat now that he's discovered her - not when she fits so perfectly in his arms.

I am sorry to say the narration of the male characters was really too much. I really did struggle throughout the story.

Reviewed: 02-11-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Ghost Story to be better than the print version?
My greatest enjoyment with the series is listening to James Marsters bring Harry and all of the characters to life. I could not enjoy listening to the performance by John Glover.
What other book might you compare Ghost Story to and why?
I actually will have to physically read the book. I have listened to all of the books and would not be able to give you a true response.
How could the performance have been better?
The narration by John Glover was monotonous. They characters all faded together - I actually had to replay various parts of the book in order to follow it.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Harry saw that his daughter was in the home of the Carpenters and would be able to have somewhat of a normal life.
