Summary

Crowford, a sleepy coastal town in the south of England, might seem like an oasis of calm and tranquility. Beneath the surface, however, dark secrets are waiting to claim fresh victims, and ghostly figures plot revenge.

Having finally decided to leave the hustle of London, Daisy and Richard Johnson buy two houses on Nelson Street, a picturesque street in the center of Crowford. One house is perfect and ready to move into, while the other is a fire-ravaged wreck that needs a lot of work. They figure they have plenty of time to work on the damaged house while Daisy recovers from a traumatic event.

Soon, they discover that the two houses share a common link to the past. Something awful once happened on Nelson Street, something that shook the town to its core. Before they can face Crowford's horrors, however, Daisy and Richard have to deal with the ghosts of their own recent history. What is Daisy hiding, and why does Richard feel strangely drawn to one of the town's oldest inhabitants?

The Haunting of Nelson Street is a ghost story about a young couple fighting for their future, and about a town trying to escape the clutches of its past.

Nothing really positive to say about this so gonna say nothing! Although will mention duplication in text and missing/jumping in parts, just added to overall disappointment

Pretty poor with bad editing

quite original but the narration and editing were awful, sentences repeated, odd words and phrases added post recording in a room with different acoustics

good story but awful narrative

I looked forward to listening to another Amy Cross book - unfortunately what should have been a good listen was ruined by a very poor narrator. She sounded bored, and had no flow at all. In addition there were numerous repeats of sections - had anybody actually listened to this before it was accepted? Glad I didn’t pay for this one!!!

Disappointed

The title may confuse you as this is not a positive review. I honestly didn’t know what rating to go for. I’m afraid it was the narrator that spoiled it for me. It was like a kid reading in class. Very monotonous to the point that I kept drifting to do other things on my phone. If you get a new narrator I bet a lot more will read and review. I have listened to other books by Ms Cross and have enjoyed all of those.

Couldn’t wait to get to the end.

Probably this will be a good story but the narrator has no inflection and I can’t listen to the story

Don’t know what to say
