Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Where ghosts tread, black feathers fall...
When Annie marries widower Edward Stonehouse and arrives at Guardbridge, his estate on the Yorkshire moors, she thinks she has finally put darkness behind her.
She is mistaken.
Edward's sister, Iris, still lives in the family home. A taxidermist and medium, she urges Annie to watch out for black feathers - claiming that they mark the spot where a spirt has visited.
At first, Annie dismisses her warnings. But, before long, she begins to feel haunted.
What exactly happened to Edward's first wife? Why is Iris so disturbed?
And should Annie really be watching for signs from the dead - or is she the one being watched?
SET ON THE YORKSHIRE MOORS IN THE 1800S, THE BLACK FEATHERS IS A GHOSTLY TALE OF MAGIC AND WICKEDNESS.

"The perfect book for a cold winter’s night...an immersive gothic tale, dark and mysterious, in which it seems one must fear the living as much as the dead. Truly haunting!" (Anita Frank)

Gothic, atmospheric, moving
A great story. I loved it. Suitably ghostly, gothic and I enjoyed the narrators soothing voice too.
I was in floods of tears at the end, although I won't give any spoilers.

Fantastic listen
After several disappointing audio books I was delighted to have bought this. So evocative and descriptive with characters that felt fully wrought and engaging. This is better even than her previous book. Narration was also excellent. Can’t wait for her next one!

Eerie gothic tale for a winter’s evening
A great story well told. I was genuinely scared at points. It’s a dark and gothic tale. Would recommend

Black Feathers
A new author for me and glad I bought it when I saw it advertised.
Brilliantly narrated and a pleasure to listen.
Not so much a ghost story but more psychological, how manipulation and imagination can betray the mind and lead a person to fear and doubt.
The "ghost" was obvious, and the ending was beautiful. I thought thats the way it would end and glad it didn't disappoint.
Glad I took a chance with this one, 5 stars 🌟

Another fabulous ghostly tale!
I loved Rebecca Netley's previous novel 'The Whistling' so I was excited to hear she was coming out with another ghost story. I was not disappointed! Interesting and well developed characters and a spooky setting. I hope the author continues with the genre. She has a talent for the spooky and the macabre.
