All Richard Hadlow wants is a happy family and a peaceful home. Having built the perfect house deep in the Kent countryside, now all he needs is a wife. He's about to discover, however, that even the most perfectly-laid plans can go horribly and tragically wrong.

The year is 1689 and England is in the grip of turmoil. A pretender is trying to take the throne, but Richard has no interest in the affairs of his country. He only cares about finding the perfect wife and giving her a perfect life. But someone–or something–at his newly-built house has other ideas. Is Richard's new life about to be destroyed forever?

Hadlow House is brand new, but already there are strange whispers in the corridors and unexplained noises at night. Has Richard just been unlucky, is his new wife Rebecca simply imagining things, or is a dark secret from the past about to rise up and deliver Richard's worst nightmare? Who wins when the past and the present collide?

1689 is the first audiobook in the Haunting of Hadlow House series, which tells the story of one haunted house over the centuries from its construction to the present day. All the lives, all the souls, all the tragedies... and all the ghosts.

this book had a wonderful balance of horror and drama. I truly enjoyed listening to the story play out. Great work!

Excellent horror!

This was great and spooky. Although set in older times, the characters are relatable and understandable. The narrator and author put you right in the moment without over detailing the background. Definitely a book of meat, and not fluff to sink your imagination into.

New classic

It came to me like one of the Saturday morning or late night shows you could catch on TV. No host to do an intro but a good solid GHOST STORY & as well as a broken hearted legacy. "A Good Man" as they say is hard to find. It's got a bit of gore to it but I'd say it isn't a gorey story overall.

The writing is on par w its narrator

Beautifully written in ghastly, detailed language and plot, this is a fascinating original series. I can’t wait to read the next offering. Two very minor flaws: the characters’ language seems more modern than its era and at one point, a character even asks to see a “photograph” of someone.

The detailed horror of it all

A little too far-fetched for my taste. Even in a fictional story there needs to be some authenticity.

Good reading, poor material
