The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

lauraborkpower's review against another edition

4.0

This is a perfect ghost story. The prose is descriptive but tight, the story is quick-moving but well paced, and told in a flashback but still manages to elicit quite an immediate sense of danger. It's sad without being sentimental, and just really creepy. The audiobook's narrator, Paul Ansdell, does a perfect job and has a voice I could have listened to for another few hours (the book itself is only about 4 hours, which is super fast for an audiobook). I might have another listen during next year's Halloween season.
