About this listen

The latest chilling, unstoppable novel, from the Richard & Judy best seller.

A child who does not know her name....

In 1903, fishermen find a wrecked boat containing a woman, who has been badly beaten, and a young girl. An ambulance is sent for, and the two survivors are taken to All Hallows, the imposing asylum, hidden deep on Dartmoor. The woman remains in a coma, but the little girl, Harriet, awakens and is taken to an attic room, far away from the noise of the asylum and is put in the care of Nurse Emma Everdeen.

Two motherless boys banished to boarding school....

In 1993, All Hallows is now a boarding school. Following his mother’s death and his father’s hasty remarriage, Lewis Tyler is banished to Dartmoor, stripped of his fashionable clothes, shorn of his long hair and left feeling more alone than ever. There he meets Isak, another lost soul, and whilst refurbishment of the dormitories is taking place, the boys are marooned up in the attic, in an old wing of the school.

Cries and calls from the past that can no longer be ignored....

All Hallows is a building full of memories, whispers, cries from the past. As Lewis and Isak learn more about the fate of Harriet and Nurse Emma’s desperate fight to keep the little girl safe, it soon becomes clear there are ghosts who are still restless.

Are they ghosts the boys hear at night in the room above, are they the unquiet souls from the asylum still caught between the walls? And can Lewis and Isak bring peace to All Hallows before the past breaks them first....

A slow starter but worth the wait

I nearly gave up on this story, as it seemed to drag in the beginning. I'm glad I stuck it out. a good story all in all.

I enjoyed the story

Interesting storyline and good performances I will read or listen to other books by Ms. Douglas, however the audio recording was terrible. I could not hear when Lewis’s mother spoke or any whispers and I tired of rewinding.

I loved this book!

The story was so interesting and well written it kept me glued the entire time. I almost didn't read it after realizing it was so long but so glad I did! The performers were clearly spoken and understandable. It had a great twist at the end I never saw coming. Great read.

Creative Plot, Cool Ending

An easy read, pretty well narrated. A little more switching back and forth time-wise than necessary. And hearing Mother's voice in Lewis's ear throughout was unnecessary and added nothing to the story. But otherwise, a unique and interesting read... err, listen!
