About this listen

A dead man. A missing woman. A haunted cottage. A secret hidden for 30 years....

In 1988 a famous record producer took his own life and a woman vanished after attending a party at Crow’s Cottage.

When the cottage’s owner passes away decades later, the property falls into the hands of his nephew, who finds a strange box hidden there. It is a replica of an infamous occult device called the Mephisto Arcane. In the wake of its discovery come sightings of an apparition. The crew of the paranormal TV show Where the Dead Walk are invited to investigate the haunting.

They are about to find the past guards its secrets jealously, and that unlocking them has consequences.

The much-anticipated sequel to the Amazon international Top 100 best seller Where the Dead Walk.

This was the second book from John Bowen that I had purchased around the theme of a ghost hunting programme. I enjoyed the character development and the supernatural element. I like the narration as it was read at a pace I would probably read myself. When is the next book out John??

Another intriguing plot

With this supernatural, spirit searching story, I feel it's only right for me to start with a fact, which is easy to prove. Helen Clapp is a voice performer of gargantuan talent and uses all her gifts to make this already spine tingling book an experience that will move you. Crow's Cottage is a 'double dipper'; I read the book, now I've listened to the audio, tomorrow I may buy the company. Does it make me a loser that I'm desperate to hang out with the Where the Dead Walk crew? Yeah, well, if it does, I don't care - because they're great. And therein lies the extra special ingredient of this tantalising tale. The characters are so credible, so exquisitely drawn that you feel you know them. They are people you have definitely met somewhere, if only you could remember exactly where! How I would love to believe in the presence of spirits and the paranormal. Maybe they do exist and my long dead, much loved, departed relatives are simply so relieved they no longer have to listen to my inane conversation that despite being able to contact me they have chosen to maintain radio silence! Hhm, I'll need to ponder that some more. But, what I have no need to ponder is that Crow's Cottage is a cornucopia of delights. Bursting at the seams with pithy dialogue, perfect prose and clever and quirky ideas. It is a joyous gift of a book full of entertainment, which will transport you to a state of ecstasy and bliss. Who doesn't want to be filled with a gem of such opulence? Go on, treat yourself, you can always thank me later.

A Marvellously Magical Manifestation!

Not my usual genre but I needed a bit of a change and was pleasantly surprised, not having listened or read the 1st novel it did not make any difference. It did seem a bit slow to start but with some perseverance soon got very interesting, and starts with the passing of the owner of Crows cottage, and there have been some eerie sightings going on, and Cloe a presenter of a tv paranormal show head the cast to investigate, with some of the old team, soon learns that a record producer is missing presumed dead and a girl again missing presumed dead, what happened to these people was it natural causes or something more sinister ? will the cottage give up it's secrets? a complex tale of intrigue carefully wound, the characters are likable realistic and raring to go. I did think the narrator spoke very fast at first but seem to slow up towards the end but was clearly
spoken. a very different and pleasant listen.

I can't deny that I was a bit disappointed to learn that the two main characters from Book 1 would not be starring in this book, but I needn't have worried!
This story follows Chloe, the new presenter of the show, who joins what is left of the old team to carry on their spooky investigations. While filming for their next show, they visit Crows Cottage where reports of ghost sightings and a supernatural discovery could be just what they are looking for. The investigation is anything but straightforward and takes the team in all different directions.
This book felt like a bit of a slow burner to start with that really picked up towards the end. I liked the inclusion of some of the old team as well as some new and interesting characters, especially Chloe.
Another twisty, creepy tale that is weel worth a read!

This was my fourth book by John Bowen and the third narrated by Helen Clapp, who is starting to feel like an old friend telling me stories around the fire. This is the second in the series; 'Where the Dead Walk', based on a film crew who are filming TV shows in haunted houses. There is plenty of atmosphere, a missing person and a suspected suicide, all of which build to a satisfying ending.

We have lost Kate from the first book and her partner, Henry, is taking more of a back seat, so it took me a while to get comfortable with Kate's replacement, Chloe. She is very young and inexperienced, but certainly enthusiastic, and like Kate, seems to be totally unphased by the thought of wandering haunted houses in the night.
Ray and Charles are taking more of an active role this time, especially Ray, who does a lot of the sleuthing to unravel what went on in the house 30 years before. It's probably more of a who-done-it than a paranormal horror, as the title might suggest, but that suits me just fine.

I'm looking forward to this series continuing and to more narration by Helen Clapp.

More bumps in the night.

This story is a mix of supernatural, mystery and suspense and does it deliver! It was well written and well narrated, the investigation is clear and concise keeping you invested on the outcome.
This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and although I see that this is book 2 in this series I didn’t feel as though I was missing any information although I will now be looking forward to reading book 1.
Very enjoyable story and I’ll certainly be looking for more by this author.

Fantastic story

I loved book 1, so much I listened to it twice. This 1 though is even better.
The group, new addition, others gone but not forgotten, agree to investigate a new house, handed down in a will. But is it haunted?
So worth listening to or reading, you could do it alone but honestly it’s really worth delving into the 1st story to get to know these characters and get spooked.
Great narration too. Kept the story flowing really well.
Excellent book
