About this listen

 WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND TERRIFIES US.
WHAT HAS NO LOGIC OR EXPLANATION CONFUSES US.
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT NUMBER 8 BRENTHOUSE ROAD?

Emma Patel, who has been carrying a tragic history for seven years, fulfills her dream of buying a house, number 8 Brenthouse Road in the Hackney district of northeast London. She doesn't ask questions, doesn't want to know if it's so cheap because a murder was committed there, or if there are ghosts, or if it's cursed, or because some brainless fool decided to hold a séance and unleashed hell in the basement.

Her curiosity about the four walls that are now her property grows from the very first night when, outside, lightning splits the sky and someone knocks desperately at the door, as if someone on the other side needs help. But when Emma opens it, Emma finds nothing, only invisible footsteps entering the house and climbing the stairs, banging noises from upstairs, and an inexplicable bloodstain appearing out of nowhere in the bedroom when silence fills everything.

"Someone is knocking at your door.
Only on rainy, stormy nights at 9:10 PM.
There's nothing you can do to stop it."

Lorena Franco, a bestselling author on Amazon Spain and Mexico since she began her literary career in 2016, with popular titles such as La viajera del tiempo, returns to London, one of her favorite settings, with the short novel A house on Brenthouse Road, an addictive thriller with supernatural elements and a significant dose of mystery, promising strong emotions.

I hope virtual voice doesn’t become the standard. The lack of emotion, unnecessary pauses, and mispronounced words detracts from this audiobook, which was good other than the distraction of the narration.

Virtual voice is awful

The story was a good "who dun-it" type. The end was a bit surprising as there were multiple, believable red herrings. The narration was just too choppy and monotone to make listening enjoyable. This listen was my first experience with virtual voice, and going forward, I will shy away from any virtual voice deliveries. Virtual voice is definitely not my cup of tea! Additionally, since the book was set in the UK, I didn't appreciate an American virtual voice. If the voice was going to be virtual, why wasn't it done with a British accent? I appreciated the paranormal aspects which were not too overblown and certainly not graphic in any way. The overall feeling when taking both the story line and performance into account was okay but nothing I'd get overly excited over. I'm certain there are far better titles available.
