About this listen
Evolved Publishing presents a suspenseful, thrilling glance inside one woman's extraordinary connection to the elements around her, in Whispers of the Dead by C.L. Roberts-Huth, the first of the Zoë Delante Thrillers. [DRM-Free]
[Paranormal, Thriller, Suspense]
Murder was never something Zoe Delante enjoyed, but solving the cases.... She does that rather well, and has the track record to prove it. Yet when she's called in on a new case with the Baltimore PD as their go-to clairvoyant, she's unprepared for the heinous nature of the crimes.
The hunt for the murderer unfolds, dropping Zoe right in the middle of a power struggle between a nightmare of a coven, and a serial killer leaving bodies in ceremonial circles in the rural parts of Baltimore's city limits.
Will she discover the identity of the maniac behind the gruesome beheadings, or will she lose someone close to her first? A race against celestial bodies and the trail of earthbound body parts keeps our intrepid clairvoyant running right until the very end.

Story
Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

You think you've got some bad date stories? My last date ended with me almost being sacrificed to a Hawaiian war god. Then I found out that all the gods are real. Only they aren't really gods, they're Atlanteans. Yep, that Atlantis.They screwed up their perfect island (and sank it) then had the nerve to move in on our territory. As if that wasn't bad enough, they told us normal humans that they were gods. And we believed them.

This book - which put Liverpool on the paranormal map - is about ghosts - whatever they are. Every culture has believed in ghosts at one time or another: Buddha trained himself to overcome fear by sitting in a haunted cemetery. Spooky tales are not just a contemporary phenomenon - there are several ghosts mentioned in the Old Testament. In the course of a person's lifetime, the chances of encountering a ghost are surprisingly high.

When Supernatural Investigation Bureau agent Bluebell Kildare (a.k.a. Blue) arrives at the scene of the crime, it's obvious the grotesquely damaged body of the deceased teenage boy was caused by far more than a simple hit and run; and she vows to catch the killer. Using her innate sixth sense, Blue uncovers a powerful magical artifact nearby. She soon discovers it acts as a key to an ancient Grimoire that was instrumental in the creation of the Vampire breed and still holds the power to unravel the boundaries between Earth and the Plane of Fire.

An Awesome Listen

I like the main character a lot; she's a strong woman who despite being a witness to the darkest sides of a human heart still believes in love, loyalty and friendship, and for whom the life of every living creature is as valuable as her own. Her friends and colleagues are equally interesting, with their own strengths and weaknesses and personal issues.
Kelly Hazen's narration is something more than just narration; it's rather an acting performance, and a good one at that. She brings the experience of listening to the book to a new level, with the emotions ringing true, with characters really coming out and standing on their own... Normally, I have a problem with male characters' voices when Ms Hazen reads a book but this time I had none:) All the voices sounded very good, good or at least OK, without making me cringe or sigh in protest:) So, this one is the best of her interpretations that I've listened to so far:)
Definitely a book worth listening too, especially if you like both crime stories and paranormal worlds.

Murder investigation turns into a battle of magic
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The action was fast paced and carried you along from one twist to another. I can't wait to read more by this author and would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, thriller, or suspense novel.
Very Worth reading/listening

Would you listen to Whispers of the Dead again? Why?
I honestly don't know. So many books, so little time. But I think I'd read it on my own next time. I think the character would play better there.What was one of the most memorable moments of Whispers of the Dead?
The ending. But here there be spoilers.Have you listened to any of Kelley Hazen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven'tWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I just about did. With every answer you get at least two more questions. It keeps you coming back for more.Any additional comments?
Whispers of the Dead is very much plot driven and when paired with Zoe’s outstanding voice this story quickly becomes next to impossible to put down.Robert-Huth’s descriptions are spellbinding without putting even the smallest damper on the endless action. You’re in for a wild ride. With a riveting narrative and a storyline that just doesn’t quit; this book is a must read for any and all paranormal fiction junkies

Wiccan Thriller
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This is a supernatural thriller, and is quite graphic in its blood and gore - so if that sort of thing upsets you, be warned. It also has a couple of near-rape scenes, which could be offensive to some.
The protagonist, Zoe, is a clairvoyant who becomes entangled in the sort of case that only ever comes up in police procedural novels - and while she is generally a likeable, strong, intelligent woman, occasionally the author slips into 'bodice-ripper' mode
When that happens, Zoe becomes a little too 'flighty' for my taste - and the carefully constructed world-view of the novel is sacrificed for drama and pathos.
Let me give you an example (and this is a minor spoiler)
At one stage, Zoe appears to be falling for one character but then spurns him because she believes he has betrayed her. She then shares a passionate kiss with another character - and through the magic of ... well, magic .. they know everything about each other and appear to be falling in love.
But then, in a deus ex machina, the second character says "Oh, I know you are in love with your ex, so go be with him" - without making any reference to that at the time of their tryst.
Both boyfriends play an important role in the final 'battle' scene .. and it felt to me like the author had changed her mind about who was going to be the love interest / hostage, and who was going to be the friend who supports Zoe in her time of need.
It just felt ... jarring.
I mentioned the carefully constructed worldview of the novel. This novel (and, I assume, the subsequent Zoe Delante thrillers) is set in a Baltimore that is a near-analog to our own world - but where Wiccans make up a significant part of the population, and where werewolves and shape-changers are not unusual.
A large part of the novel is based on the interactions of Wiccans with Christians (portrayed mostly as closed-minded bigots and zealots until they are aided by Wiccans)
I don't know much about their religion but I do have some Wiccan friends, and I kept thinking "maybe I should ask them if this portrayal is right"
But then I realized, if this is a slightly different world to ours, then the author can portray Wicca however she likes, and I should just 'suspend disbelief' :-)
I listened to this audiobook over a week, while taking my daily walks, and I enjoyed the narration by Kelley Hazen - who kept the pace going, and brought characters to life, although she does have a tendency to be a little sing-song when not presenting dialogue.
Overall, I've given this novel 4 stars and have already loaded the second volume in this series onto my Audible account.
Diverting,if occasionally disturbing.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
C.L. Roberts-Huth is a new author to me. I did get a little confused a couple of times, but ended up getting back on track fairly quickly. I’m looking forward to seeing how this series progresses.
I think having an experienced narrator helped this story. Kelley Hazen always does a fantastic job distinguishing between the characters and changing her inflections to bring out the emotions.
