About this listen

A woman of limited means and even less experience must confront a vengeful spirit in this haunting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Girls and The Sun Down Motel.

1920s England. Sarah Piper’s lonely, threadbare existence changes when her temporary agency sends her to assist an obsessed ghost hunter. Alistair Gellis—rich, handsome, and scarred by World War I—has been summoned to investigate the spirit of the nineteen-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who is said to haunt the barn where she committed suicide.

Maddy hated men in life, and she will not speak to them in death. But Sarah is unprepared to confront an angry ghost—real or imagined—on her own. She’s even less prepared for the arrival of Alistair’s associate, rough, unsettling Matthew Ryder, also a veteran of the trenches, whose scars go deeper than Sarah can reach.

Soon, Sarah is caught up in a desperate struggle. For Maddy’s ghost is no hoax—she’s real, she’s angry, and she has powers that defy all reason. Now, Sarah and Matthew must discover who Maddy was, where she came from, and what is driving her desire for vengeance—before she destroys them all....

What the critics say

Winner of two RITA Awards from the Romance Writers of America and the Arthur Ellis Award from Crime Writers of Canada

“St. James has written an atmospheric and resoundingly old-fashioned ghost story that pulls you in from the first pages.”—Historical Novels Review

“A chilling start...fans of the modern Gothic novel will enjoy filling up a few creepy hours.”—Kirkus Reviews

“With a fresh, unique voice, Simone St. James creates an atmosphere that is deliciously creepy and a heroine you won't soon forget. The Haunting of Maddy Clare promises spooky thrills and it delivers. Read it, enjoy it—but don't turn out the lights!”—Deanna Raybourn, author of the Julia Grey series and of The Dark Enquiry

Good Ghost Story

This started slow and I almost gave up, but I love a ghost story and wanted to give it a chance, it definitely picked up and the narration on Maddy's parts was scary lol. Billie Fulford-Brown's voice delivered those scenes.

Enthralling and entertaining from start to finish!

I thoroughly enjoyed this listen and completed it in just over a day. What a deliciously creepy story with vivid characters and twists and turns. The narrator did an amazing job and really carried the tale while painting the images that will remain in your mind after the story is over. From the start of chapter 1, the book draws you in and you’re kept fully engaged until the end.

Can’t wait to explore other novels from this author!
