All Richard Hadlow wants is a happy family and a peaceful home. Having built the perfect house deep in the Kent countryside, now all he needs is a wife. He's about to discover, however, that even the most perfectly-laid plans can go horribly and tragically wrong.

The year is 1689 and England is in the grip of turmoil. A pretender is trying to take the throne, but Richard has no interest in the affairs of his country. He only cares about finding the perfect wife and giving her a perfect life. But someone–or something–at his newly-built house has other ideas. Is Richard's new life about to be destroyed forever?

Hadlow House is brand new, but already there are strange whispers in the corridors and unexplained noises at night. Has Richard just been unlucky, is his new wife Rebecca simply imagining things, or is a dark secret from the past about to rise up and deliver Richard's worst nightmare? Who wins when the past and the present collide?

1689 is the first audiobook in the Haunting of Hadlow House series, which tells the story of one haunted house over the centuries from its construction to the present day. All the lives, all the souls, all the tragedies... and all the ghosts.

The reading of this book was great. The reading kept my interest for long periods of time. The narration showed emotion at appropriate times and had my heart in my throught near the end. Great read!

A Worthy Trip Back In Time

This was great and spooky. Although set in older times, the characters are relatable and understandable. The narrator and author put you right in the moment without over detailing the background. Definitely a book of meat, and not fluff to sink your imagination into.

A little too far-fetched for my taste. Even in a fictional story there needs to be some authenticity.

Good reading, poor material

Like this was absolutely the most riveting haunted house book I have ever heard. It even makes Hell House look elementary. It starts off subtle and average, then it keeps on taking twists like "No they just didn't!" No boring ghost story here. Whoa! Now, I will never put anything over Hill House for my own reasons, but wow this is up there.

Makes Steven King look like RL Stine's Goosebumps

Whether big or small, I found myself gasping aloud at the sudden surprises. Thoroughly enjoyed this story.

A lot of surprises

I usually enjoy this author. And the idea of this series was exactly what I’ve been searching for. But I can’t even make it through book 1. This story goes off on such bizarre and (imho) unnecessarily gross deviations that I thought maybe it was written by AI at one point. I truly am left baffled.

WTF did I just listen to???
