Summary

Meet the ultra-rational Dr Newton Barlow. Cool, cynical, scientific, he’s the last man you’d want to be a bridge between the living and the dead. But with his academic reputation in tatters, and nothing to lose but his few remaining marbles, the great skeptic is about to discover that the past that haunts him will be nothing compared to his ghost-ridden future.

Thrust into a rollicking struggle between good and evil, can Dr Barlow forget everything he ever believed in to save this world...and the next?

Thrilling, chilling, and utterly hilarious, The Unhappy Medium is a bone-dry British comedy in the great tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

A solid listen

An entertaining storyline, likeable and engaging characters and a good vocal performance from the narrator. Well worth a credit

Truly, madly, binge worthy

Witty, clever and thoroughly entertaining story with excellent narration. Characters were well rounded and every one unique. Excellent.

An addictive plot that kept me entertained.

I loved the sarcasm, wit and energy of this story. I would certainly reccomend for anyone wanting a light hearted listen.

Takes time to get going

It takes a little while to work through the introduction of characters until the book really gets going. It is worth sticking with it as the story overall is very good.

An absolutely brilliant storyline

Wow, I loved this book! there were a series of events dotted along a huge timeline with various stories here and there but they all fell together so perfectly. Please can I implore the author...... this book is perfect for a series. I will be forever in your debt if you write book 2 😍😍!
