OPENED GROUND - the St Jude's Hauntings
Reviews:
Opened Ground - Loved the narration from Vicky Fox. Sarah is summoned to a deconsecrated church to investigate the ancient stones found beneath it. We have a storm that stops Sarah and her colleagues from leaving. This is a great story with the history of blood sacrifice and murder. You feel the past and present meeting. Listen in the daytime.
I listened to it in one go! Such a good story, which the narrator tells very well. The characters are well-conceived and have believable personalities. There is a large amount of history within the tale, but it is seamlessly blended into the fictional storylines.
