Editorial reviews

Narrator Stephen Critchelow's unaffected performance starts off on an innocuous note but he steadily increases the dread and eeriness of Charles Dickens' ghost story to great effect. A man reads about a murder in the newspaper only to begin having visions of the murder scene and of the ghost of the victim. Critchelow's descriptions of the apparition are spine-chillingly vivid, and his pacing will have hairs rising on listeners' napes as the ghost continues to haunt the man - who becomes a juror for the murder trial - and those around him.
