About this listen

How can the mysterious disappearance of Anne Flint in 1816 and the drowning of a young girl in a chalk stream so long ago possibly affect the life of schoolteacher Harry Flint some two centuries later? Having left his job and with a failed marriage behind him, Harry begins to research his ancestors. The deeper he digs, the more he realises that the past is closer than he had ever imagined. The Haunting is a story of love and betrayal, intrigue and murder. Where people are not what they seem, and the past is no more predictable than the future.

A good old fashioned 'yarn'. Too wordy and overly descriptive with a contrived ending. The literary quotations at the beginning of each chapter became very pompous sounding. An easy if overlong listen.

A book club book which I would never have picked myself I was surprised to find I really enjoyed it. On this occasion the author being the narrator was the right choice. My only complaint is that it was misnamed.

An enjoyable light story read well

I found this story very slow going and had to keep putting it down, but after 10 chapters or so, got into the story and then could not put it down.

It does go back and forth a lot in the dates and you have to keep up with it, I kept going back a chapter.



I love Alan Titchmarsh and have read all his books, also watch his TV shows and love him on them also, but found his voice reading the story, did put me to sleep! many a night I fell asleep and woke up next morning at the end of the story !!



Would I listen to him again reading a story, not sure.. Sorry Alan.

I have read all Alan Titchmarsh novels and each is very different in its own way .

Never has he written one quite like this and initially as I started to listen I thought it would be difficult to keep up with the past and present switches with each chapter.As the story unfolds this was easy even if I only managed to snatch short bursts of listening time. The story is inviting and it slowly unfolds and delivers a good end. The characters are easy to be acquainted with and the book evokes emotions and allows you to imagine you are their in the characters place experiencing the life of the servant girl striving for a better life

An unusual one for Alan Titchmarsh

I wasn't sure about this at first but I'm glad I gave it a go even if the author's familiar voice doing the reading is a little bit of a distraction. The story jumps between the present day and an early nineteenth century setting but the characters are clearly defined, so it's easy to keep track. My one grouse is that each chapter heading has a quote, which slows the action rather. The plot is a little predictable but overall it's a well-written and enjoyable listen.

Easy and undemanding
