The House by the Churchyard

Gelesen von John

(4,5 Sterne; 12 Bewertungen)

Murder, mystery, mayhem, romance and relationships. Our classic who-done-it takes place in olde Dublin, Ireland in the village of Chapelizod around the Royal Irish Artillery base. A mysterious skull has been uncovered in the church graveyard. Whose skull is it, and how did it get those two crushing head wounds and the large hole in it, and why? I think you will enjoy hearing as well as I loved reading all 100 chapters. - Summary by John Brandon (26 hr 21 min)

Enjoyable mix of mystery and social novel

(5 Sterne)

This is a really sprawling novel combining murder mystery with the amusing portrait of small town society. If you're more interested in straightforward murder mysteries, this might not be for you. I really enjoyed this mixture and now have a very vivid picture in my head of this town which is today a suburb of Dublin and Sheridan Le Fanu's childhood home. This is largely due to the superb reader ( really clear pronunciation & perfect pace) and I'll be on the lookout for other books he has read.

Great Narrator

(4,5 Sterne)

Narrator is fantastic! The story was a bit dry in places, but enjoyable nonetheless.
