Summary
From Shani Struthers, the best-selling author of The Venetian and The Eleventh Floor, comes the third in the This Haunted World series: Highgate. With sometimes harrowing scenes, this is her darkest novel yet and not for the faint-hearted!
Highgate, perhaps the most famous cemetery in the world, is renowned for its Victorian Gothic splendour, famous residents, its vampire and, of course, ghosts....
Lucy Klein, 42, is not only obsessed with Highgate, she works there too, organising tours for those with an interest in some of the finest Victorian funerary architecture in existence. Single, and on the shy side, she is nonetheless content with her life, or so she thinks. When she meets the enigmatic Zak Harborne, she realizes what she’s been missing and quickly falls in love. Suddenly, it is the business of living that interests her.
1972, and Emma Matthews, a 19-year-old history student, also feels as though she’s on the outside. After visiting a derelict Highgate with a group of friends, she starts to feel a connection, a sense of meaning to her life, amongst the tombstones, the crosses, and the angels. Returning to Highgate over and over, she discovers both a paradise and a garden decidedly more savage.
Grace Derby is just 11 when she encounters the gentleman, tall and with a tall hat, a long black coat and a cape about his shoulders. It is the 1850s and street urchins such as her are not accustomed to kindness from those belonging to the upper echelons. Proffering money for food, for her and her family, he asks nothing in return. Curious about the man with the kind blue eyes, she follows him one day…all the way to Highgate.
For some, it seems, all roads lead to Highgate....

Highgate - Another Amazing Listen!
Well the proof is in the pudding it’s currently 2.43am and I have just finished listening to Highgate on audible. I am speechless, Highgate is a gut wrenching, emotional roller coaster, it’s beautifully written. I was there by the women’s sides, I felt their pain anger and hurt, and I felt my own too. The topics Highgate high lights couldn’t have been more thoughtfully written, absolutely spot on. Yet again when Shani writes I can relate to the characters, I can picture the characters, the characters become a part of you. I have literally spent the day listening at every chance I got, even when dishing up the dinner! Shani I’ve said it before il say it again, you are one talented author, your books send chills through my spine and leave me wanting more.. I can’t wait for the next release. Shani is one author I find myself always checking for release dates, I have to have the books the day they are released. In between reading or listening to shani’s writing, I’m lost as I am yet to find another author that captures me the way Shani does.

A truly haunting story
Fantastic gripping supernatural thriller but with a heartbreaking deeper under current, will leave you with tears in you eyes at parts. The narrator reads its wonderfully and as per usual Shani has written another story you just cant put down. This book will leave you with a renewed view of the past one both fascinating and shocking. cant reccomend highly enough. Great job Shani and Sheila

Brilliant
Brilliant storyline with three characters all different stories eventually meeting in sad then happy times. Another listen I could not wait to get back to, narrator once again delivering the essence of the the story and characters with great effect.

Awful
I, m sure audible has down hill in its book selections.. I, ve almost given up trying to find aBook as good as Susan Hills a woman in Black.. The narrator can't do character voices her pleasant voice installs no tension The story got so long winded at the end I was thinking for God sake hurry up and end. another credit wasted
