Summary

Mire House is dreary, dark, cold, and infested with midges. But when Emma Dean inherits it from a distant relation, she immediately feels a sense of belonging.

It isn't long before Charlie Mitchell, grandson of the original owner, appears claiming that he wants to seek out his family. But Emma suspects he's more interested in the house than his long-lost relations. And when she starts seeing ghostly figures, Emma begins to wonder: Is Charlie trying to scare her away? Or are there darker secrets lurking in the corners of Mire House?

Good Ghost story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Unquiet House to be better than the print version?

Not read the book

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Unquiet House?

The ending is a surprise !!!

What does Penelope Rawlins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narration is very good. All the characters voices are portrayed really well.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It is a very sad story in many ways

Any additional comments?

Echoes of The Woman In Black at times ,It does go back and forth in time some what ,and is quite a long read too but well worth it

Woman In Black Rip-off

I'm terrified of ghosts, even that naff program with Yvette Fielding (the shame) - so if I saw a ghost in my new house and then he shouted at me to get out, see you later!

As my headline suggests there were a lot of comparisons going on with that novel, and I'd be pretty miffed if I was the author. The accents were pretty strong too, so hard to decipher at times.
