About this listen

Charity Evans wants nothing more than to leave her troubled past behind and start afresh. The teacher at a London school for orphans is encouraged to have her memories blocked by hypnotist Samuel Gladstone, but when they experience visions with an unknown third person, they realize the past can never be truly erased. And now that past is returning to haunt Charity all over again.

Samuel is determined to help her, but how can a woman who trusts no man trust a hypnotist? And what dark secrets changed the charming gentleman into a desperate man who’ll do anything to keep those secrets buried?

The narrator is dreadful and spoiled the book. She needs to go elocution lessons and do a course in narration.
Her diction was over pronounced and absolutely dreadful.
I love C.J. Archers books but if she uses this narrator again I will not be buying then.

Very difficult to listen too

I love CJ Archer, which is what makes me stick it out and listen to the books regardless of the narration.

I was trying to work out if she had a Aussie accent at one point. The pronunciation of words were a bit odd here and there.. but the story always kept me hooked!

In all honesty I don’t think anyone can compare to Marian Hussey when it comes to CJ Archer books so perhaps that’s what’s adding to it.

I don’t wish to put the narrator down it’s perhaps not the right book for them having all different characters and voices to cover.

The story is good. But this narrator is just so awful it ruins everything! I almost hope they re-record this with a decent narrator to give this story the opportunity to be told better

The Narrator is AWFUL

As always CJ Archer's books are spell binding and difficult to put down. I was so looking forward to the stories being narrated on Audible. I don't like mentioning negative comments about the narrator but in this case I feel I need to. Myself personally I felt the narrator was concentrating so hard on maintaining a British accent that the pronunciations of words were wrong and the voices had too much of a sing song tone about them. Viscount was mispronounced as Visscount and I felt that the narration spoilt the wonderful story. The 3rd set of stories of freak house are one of my favourites. Please, please can you bring back Lucy Rayner or Gemma Dawson. While I'm sure that Kasey Logan is a fantastic narrator, her voice maybe more suited for a different genre and I wish her all the best. Thank you.

Great story. Not the right narrator for this genre

Awful accent, soooo many mispronounced words, sounds like it was read by a very poor AI

Dreadful performance

I have enjoyed alot of cj archers books. this series tho has been a bit lacking compared to her others ie glass and steele.
I found the narration on this poor quality. There was mispronunciation of words and the incorrect timing of inflections throughout nearly drove me mad.
this one was not an easy listen.
will be forgoing the next two books by this narrator.

Not the greatest narration

The pronunciation of some words was very incorrect over pronounced but the End story was magnificent

The story was slow to start but then I couldn't stop listening

I’ve listened to almost all of CJ Archers extensive catalogue and enjoyed them all as both the stories and narrators were good. This narrator though was atrocious and made listening to it nearly unbearable. She is obviously American and doesn’t understand the nuances of an English accent or vocabulary as she mispronounced so many words like someone who thought that was how the English pronounced it. Also, the cadence, flow and character voices were really not great. I’ll listen to the others (unwillingly) just because I want to hear the whole trilogy but I’ve seriously considered giving them a miss.
If I was CJ I’d pay to have them redone by one of the other narrators used on her other books and throw these in the bin.

Unfortunately the narration let this story down, I have a number of C J Archer titles in my library and they have been wonderful to listen to. This series sounds like it is being read by a poor AI app 😕 In anticipation of another great series, I purchased all three and am now suffering through book 2.
The lesson I take from this is to always listen to the preview to ensure I can actually enjoy the narrator. Or perhaps I should have purchased the Kindle versions ...

Great story, awful narration
