About this listen

The Haunting of Briarwych Church is a horror story about a dead woman's anger and about a terrible quest for revenge.

The year is 1942. Britain is in the grip of the Second World War, bringing blackout conditions to much of the country.

For several years, Briarwych Church has remained locked and unused. Arriving to take up his new position, Father Lionel Loveford's first task is to open the great wooden door and get the church back into use. But something lurks in the shadows.

A terrible tragedy once took place in Briarwych, and now the locals live in fear of a vengeful spirit that has sometimes been spotted looking out from the church's windows. Although he doesn't believe in ghosts, Father Loveford soon discovers that the entire village of Blackwych lives in a perpetual state of guilt and terror.

Does the ghost of Judith Prendergast really haunt the church, and, if so, what does she want from the villagers?

I felt that it lost its way a little, although, a good story with a bit of a twist.

The twist.

Good story although the narrator could have put more feeling into it. I also the thought the characters were weak but perhaps because of the era in which the story was told accounted for this

i didn't necessarily like everything about the main character. But his flaws really only made the story more interesting, for the most part.

If you like classic spooky stories, this one is pretty great.

This is a short listen (not quite 6 hours) about a priest, Father Lionel Loveford, who arrives at Briarwych church to take up his new position and finds that the villagers will not enter as they believe the church is haunted. But Father Lovelord does not believe in ghosts.

I enjoyed the setting in a small village during the second world war and the story itself was interesting, though not very scary and I did find Father Lovelord's character very irritating and sanctimonious. I will probably listen to the next book in the series.

This is a decent ghost story set years ago and written in the old style but that suits it.

The narrator makes this story, I think it’s a perfect match. It was a good short read, I enjoyed it and would recommend.

I thought this was an old book, but was surprised that it was actually published in 2018. It is a great audiobook. The pace is breath taking and it works so well because Amy Cross delvers less and means so much more. There is a great twist at the end which is so well set up that it brought a smile to my lips. Christopher Weeks' performance as the main character captures the stiff upper lipped but deep emotion of the English character so well. Highly recommended.

A CRACKING GOOD OLD FASHIONED GHOST STORY.
