About this listen

Murder and mystery on the Jersey Shore from the national best-selling author of Inspector Specter....

Never meet your heroes - especially when they're dead....

Guesthouse owner, single mother, and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby is about to sit down to movie night with her family and friends when she's struck speechless. Floating before her is the ghost of her musical idol, 1960s English rock star Vance McTiernan. He's in desperate need of help from Alison and her resident ghostly gumshoe, Paul Harrison.

Reports claim that four months ago, Vance's daughter died from a drug overdose. Vance, however, thinks she was murdered. While Alison agrees to help, Paul is suspicious of Vance's motives. But after the body of the alleged killer is found in the movie room, Alison and Paul must act quickly before someone else finds a stairway to heaven....

Just started this and am not sure I can carry on!
Amanda Ronconi is usually my all time favourite Audible narrator and can do no wrong, but her approximation of an English accent is nothing short of horrific. For a British listener, imagine nails down a blackboard but worse.
It sounds like a strange mix of Irish, Scottish and some kind of odd twang I'm not even sure exists in real life. I mean, c'mon, how hard is it to do a cockney or even a posh English accent? The book itself is great as the books in this series always are, but given I'm cringing every time the English character speaks I might have go skip this one and go onto the next.

'British' accent unbearable to listen to

Would you listen to Ghost in the Wind again? Why?

I probably wouldn't listen to this one again. I'd read it, because the story is fine, but the awful attempts at English accents by the narrator made me cringe. They not only sound nothing like the accents stated in the text but several of them rove the various regions of the British Isles without settling on any of them... dreadful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alison - main protagonist all the way.

How could the performance have been better?

Not attempting the English accents would have been preferable to mangling them. It's a shame because, on the whole Amanda Ronconi is a very good narrator.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nope

Good story, dire accents

Another fantastic instalment in the ‘haunted guesthouse series’.
An excellent easy listen with all the regular characters plus some interesting ‘guest players’ such as Vance!
Narration is perfect as usual (apart from the British accents (Sorry!!) which varied between countries and regions of the Uk within the same paragraph)
Will be listen to the next one straight away!
Highly recommended

Fantastic series!

I enjoy this series of books, the stories are easy to listen to, amusing and not too taxing. This particular book has the usual story of ghost finding/investigation, but oh dear, the narrator is normally fine using her own accent. This time she is trying to do an accent and goodness knows where it originates. At the start it sounds like very bad Scottish or Irish, then it shifts into possible Welsh. I think it should be Liverpool, but the whole story would have been more enjoyable if just left as the narrator speaking in her own accent. Americans are as bad at English accents and the English are at American ones. Someone should have listened before it was put out. That said the story is a good one.

The series of books are good easy listening

I have been working my way through this series and have loved how the characters have developed. However this book was really hard to listen to because of the so called British accents which went from one geographical accent to another, all in one sentence. It made this story hard to follow and was not an enjoyable experience.

Love this series but accents were terrible
