An unusual story about kidnapping by a cult of a former member. More absorbing than it might sound and worth listening to. Not one of Bentley Little's best but still quite good.

Having read and listened to a great many book by Dean Koontz this was by far the most disappointing. Mediocre at best. Almost as if knocked out to meet a publishing commitment lacking the depth, twists and turns that I have experienced in other more worthy titles.

Typical Bentley Little story well narrated as usual by David Stifel. Dramatic ending tinged with a high degree of implausibilty but entertaining all the less.

If I had paid to listen to this story I would have returned it about a quarter way through. The occult based storyline was poor and the narrator particularly disappointing. A good narrator can make all the difference and this one did for all the wrong reasons. As it was, I skipped half way through to listen to the last 45 minutes. and I don't think I missed much.

This story line had great potential and got on with delivering at pace without going off at tangents to pad it out. that said it wasn't the best haunted house story I've read. in fact disappointing. A bit like a watered down Amityville horror.

Another good story from Bentley Little, with many parallels with others he has written. Quite a few similarities to The Town. Well narrated by David Stifel. Nothing more to add despite being prompted to add more text to satisfy the review requirements.

An interesting story about life after death. A little too much about this experience as imagined by the writer and not enough dedicated to the love story that bonds it together. A promising book just fizzled out into nonsense.

A great detective story focussing on the Chief Coroner. Well narrated, too. Surprised that it was written back in 1976.

I only decided to give this a try because it was a free Audible download by Joe Hill that had good reviews. What a mistake. I hated all the theatrics and it felt like I was listening to a TV programme but without the pictures. Not surprising when I discovered this was written for just that purpose. I pretty much hated the story and whole presentation right from the off but decided to give it a try. Three hours is more than enough. For me a complete waste of time. Deleted. No wonder it was a free download.
