Some Places Should Stay Abandoned....
Dr. Siegfried Klein has vanished on a mysterious pilgrimage to an abandoned infirmary in the ghost-town of Moonville. The locals in the surrounding areas are tight-lipped, hostile to outsiders. Local legend has it that the old Sick House is packed with spirits, none of them friendly, and that to set foot in it is to enter Hell itself.
Enter Harlan Ulrich, private investigator and skeptic.
Traveling to the site, the detective begins the long process of separating truth from grisly local myth, and during his investigation stumbles upon certain frightful evidence that tries his nerve. He wants to find the doctor in one piece and weathers the hostilities of the locals even as their stories keep him up at night. But the longer he spends in the ghost town of Moonville, the more he feels the influence of something sinister in the shuttered infirmary.
When finally the truth is revealed and the infirmary's sordid past comes to light, will Ulrich manage to escape with his life?

The audio for this one was extremely good. The only problem I had with it really was the English accent of the narrator. Not that should be an issue, but the story is based in Ohio. That’s right. Ohio. Crazy. The really interesting part about it is that I think it made the story even better. Jake Urry’s narration was spot on in cadence and tone, pacing and character. Very well done. Besides, everybody knows Ohio is a hotbed for old school English Private Investigators with a penchant for expensive coffee beans. Duh.
An entertaining and enjoyable detective tale with a supernatural spin and an English Ohioan. What’s not to like. I dug it.

What did you love best about The Sick House?
It is intensely creepy and very descriptive, at times a little too in depth and I found myself drifting until that segment was over. It is very easy to imagine being in the dank, dark tunnels of the house, yet again my ‘phobia’ was challenged with the ‘damp, furry bodies of the rats’ as they crawl around. That was enough to make me cringe!What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sick House?
I listened to this on audiobook and it was the quality of the narration that made it so enjoyable. Imagine all the late night horror movies, scary books, Halloween etc all rolled into one and that nowhere near portrays the talent of Jake Urry. His voice is gravelly, chilling, atmospheric yet keeps the listener absolutely riveted and desperate to continue. The shivers went up my spine as soon as he read the title!!Have you listened to any of Jake Urry’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first experience of Jake Urry, I'm already downloading another one. An incredible talent.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Pray you don't become sick!Any additional comments?
The cover of this looks so gruesome that I was immediately curious! I’m actually participating in the blog tour for the third book in the series so to get me up to speed I wanted to read one and two. The Sick House is the first where we are introduced to Ulrich the private investigator. He is an unfathomable character at the outset but once the layers are unpeeled and his character is revealed he is a sturdy straight talking guy. He is tired of the usual husband/wife suspecting an affair cases so when the opportunity arises to locate a missing doctor he dives straight in.Ulrich sets out to unearth what happened to the doctor, amidst ghoulish tales and local hostility it makes for a suspenseful story set in an incredibly dark spooky deserted ‘hospital’ originally run by nuns.
Excellent performance which brought an otherwise ‘ordinary’ story to life. I am now going to listen to book two.
Thanks to Jess at An Audiobookworm for the copy which I reviewed voluntarily.
Worth it for the narration!
