Summary
Meet the ultra-rational Dr Newton Barlow. Cool, cynical, scientific, he’s the last man you’d want to be a bridge between the living and the dead. But with his academic reputation in tatters, and nothing to lose but his few remaining marbles, the great skeptic is about to discover that the past that haunts him will be nothing compared to his ghost-ridden future.
Thrust into a rollicking struggle between good and evil, can Dr Barlow forget everything he ever believed in to save this world...and the next?
Thrilling, chilling, and utterly hilarious, The Unhappy Medium is a bone-dry British comedy in the great tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

Truly, madly, binge worthy
Witty, clever and thoroughly entertaining story with excellent narration. Characters were well rounded and every one unique. Excellent.

An addictive plot that kept me entertained.
I loved the sarcasm, wit and energy of this story. I would certainly reccomend for anyone wanting a light hearted listen.

Takes time to get going
It takes a little while to work through the introduction of characters until the book really gets going. It is worth sticking with it as the story overall is very good.

A generally enjoyable silly fantasy yarn.
why not the full 5 stars? A couple of dodgy accents marred an otherwise solid performance. The primary storyline is engaging, but suffers from a few unnecessary rambling asides meant to provide backstory that almost lost me at times.
still worth a listen.

Entertaining and something different
Brilliant, had me laughing, cheering and booing during my daily commute. Plot was original (and yes had an air of Douglas Adams about it), it was imaginative and well paced. I really felt I got involved with the characters and their interwoven bonds. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book.
I enjoyed the narration by Marston York and think he did a great job keeping everyone under control. He was perfect for this book, voices brought the characters to life and I hope to hear more from him.

Superb.
There was one really dissapinting thing about this book.
The very last two words.
'The End'.
Please make a series out of it.
