About this listen

The stage is set, and the witch-hunt is about to begin . . .

***

England, 1645.

After his half-brother dies, aspiring playwright Nicholas Pearce is apprenticed to Judge William Percival, an infamous former witch-hunter who is under pressure to resume his old profession.

In a country torn apart by civil war, with escalating tensions between Catholics and Protestants, Royalists and Roundheads, and rumours of witchcraft, Nicholas hides a secret: the dead sing. He hears their secrets, but will he find the courage to speak up and save innocent lives, even if it means putting himself in great danger?

The story was such a good idea and I loved the character of Nicholas. But.... this was such a dissapointmemt. So so muddled and confusing with so many different characters. I could barely finish it. The narrator didn't help by simply reading it out with no attempt to change voices for different characters. I wanted to love it and it could have been so good but in the end it was barely listenable.

Muddled and confusing
