A House of Ghosts by W. C. Ryan
2.75
🎧Audiobook Review🎧
Truly, I enjoyed this book. BUT. I would have enjoyed it more if there were a better range in narrator's voice. Okay, I get it... it's a ghostly secret intelligence tale so lots of whispering involved. However, you don't have you drop your voice so low that I have to toggle the volume up to hear and then have to bring it back down. I got so sick of it that I just ignored the bits I couldn't hear which means that I am probably missing quite a few bits of the story. I may have enjoyed it better on print.
<i>A House of Ghosts</i> has all the potentials for a great read for me. A sensitive* codebreaker turn spy protagonist with a whodunit (locked down "house") flavour and a freezing chill of spectral presence. Quite an interesting mix in this novel. I could see potential for his protagnist and her love interest as a serial and would be interested if there were more. I think it's a stand alone though. The showdown at the end was great although the ending of the book itself was rather abrupt. And aside from all the bits I've missed, a highly entertaining read.
