    About this audiobook

    The chilling sequel to the international bestselling novel The Woman in Black 

    It's Autumn of 1940, and German bombs are destroying the cities of Britain as WWII takes its toll on Europe. In London, children are being removed from their families and taken to the country for safety. Teacher Eve Parkins is in charge of one such group, and her destination is an empty and desolate house that appears to be sinking into the tidal marshes that surround it.

    Its name is Eel Marsh House.

    Far from home and with no alternative, Eve and the children move in. But it soon becomes apparent that there is someone else in the house; someone who is far deadlier than anything that would face the children in the city. She's called "The Woman in Black," and she won't rest until she has her revenge …

    Martyn Waites

    Martyn Waites (b. 1963) is an English actor and author of hard-boiled fiction. Raised in Newcastle upon Tyne, he spent his post-university years selling leather coats, working in pubs, and doing stand-up comedy. After a stint in drama school, Waites pursued life on the stage, performing regionally in theaters across England. TV and commercial work followed, and he continued to act fulltime until the early 1990s, when he began writing his first novel, a noir mystery set in his hometown. Mary’s Prayer was published in 1997, and Waites followed it with three more novels starring the same character, an investigative journalist named Stephen Larkin. Since then Waites has divided his time between acting and writing. After concluding the Larkin series in 2003, he created another journalist protagonist, troubled reporter Joe Donovan, who made his first appearance in The Mercy Seat. Waites’s most recent novel is Speak No Evil. Along with his wife and children, he lives and works in Hertfordshire, a county north of London.

    • 2/5
      This is the novelization of ''Angel of Death'', the mediocre sequel to ''The Woman In Black'' , a 2012 beautiful film based on the novella by Susan Hill. An attempt to cash out on the success of the first film, it verifies the rule of the sequels. The book is as good as the movie and that means average at best. There's nothing to write home about, really. Other than its striking front cover, the characters are weak, irritating, the ''scares'' badly-written. It certainly can't hold a candle to the original. Worth reading only for the atmospheric setting, amidst the time of the Blitz, during the Second World War.
    • 5/5
      This is a sequel to Susan Hill's classic ghost story The Woman in Black; or to be more accurate, this is a novelisation of a film which is a sequel to a film version of Hill's novel, starring Daniel Radcliffe. While it lacks the classic Gothic writing style of Hill, I thought this was nevertheless a very good sequel, with an atmosphere of pure horror throughout. It is the Blitz and a group of children is evacuated from London to isolated Eel Marsh House somewhere in the north east of the country. If possible, the spectre of Jennet Humfrye seems even more malevolent here than in the original. There are some tragic and heart-breaking incidents here, paving the way towards an ambiguous conclusion. Very good in its own right, albeit not of Susan Hill's calibre.

      Autumn 1940, World War Two, the Blitz. Bombs are raining down, destroying the cities of Britain.

      In London, children are being removed from their families and taken to the country for safety.

      Teacher Eve Parkins is in charge of one such group, and her destination is an empty and desolate house that appears to be sinking into the treacherous tidal marshes that surround it.

      EEL MARSH HOUSE

      Far from home and with no alternative, Eve and the children move in.

      But soon it becomes apparent that there is someone else in the house; someone who is far deadlier than any number of German bombs ...

      The Woman in Black.

      Was well written enough but just so far away from the concept of the original it might as well have been a completely different story...a dramatisation of the screenplay for the forthcoming film
