About this listen

Burial of Ghosts is a thrilling standalone crime novel from Ann Cleeves, author and creator of the three astounding TV series Shetland, Vera and The Long Call.

Abandoned as a baby, twenty-five-year-old Lizzie Bartholomew spent her childhood moving between foster homes and has had more than her fair share of troubles.

Now a holiday in Morocco seems to be the perfect escape. Especially when she meets Philip, a fellow tourist. After a brief affair, Lizzie returns to England, only to find a solicitor's letter waiting for her.

Philip Samson has died and has left Lizzie a gift of £15,000 in his will. But there are conditions attached to this unexpected legacy that will soon force Lizzie to confront terrifying secrets from her past life . . .

Good lord what a shocker

And not in a good way. This book is just bland. It just doesn’t really get going. I properly struggled and I’m a big fan of the author. Enjoyed the narration, but she didn’t have a lot to work with. Shame.

Very disappointed

The story might have become more interesting but the narrator’s voice was so awful I couldn’t continue.

dull

Just too dull and monotonous to go further than chapter 9. And I forced myself to go that far in the hope that something, anything, gave the narrator a change of tone. Nothing like any of the authors other books.

Forgettable and dull

A book chosen for Book Club, the consensus was one star. A story that had too many characters which were not relatable and a boring story with a protagonist who everyone told all their secrets - unlikely!

Struggled with this

Tedious and very dull, wish I'd checked out the reviews rather than expecting the book to be good because of the author. Waste of money and can't finish it.
