Summary
A game that turns to a nightmare....
Non Omnis Moriar
I shall not altogether die
A young boy watches his mother die. A sadistic man dies in agony. Drunk students play with a Ouija board in a damp cellar. Can bricks and mortar retain imprints of the emotions experienced within them?
Frannie is delighted when a chance meeting with a handsome man and his son leads to a romance. The fact that the relationship is marred by gruesome tragedies, she dismisses as an unsettling coincidence. But eventually she can no longer ignore the fact that she is the only thing linking these horrible events. Is it a murderous practical joke?
Or worse?

Great Supernatural Thriller
When I pre-ordered this book I thought it was a brand new standalone novel by Peter James, though I discovered it was actually first published in 1992! However it has now been released on Audible.
The book starts in 1652 with a gruesome murder and then moves to 1988 when a young boy witnesses the death of his mother in a car accident. I couldn't work out how these two events could be connected, but the clink is very gradually revealed during the book.
I felt the book had a bit of an old fashioned feel, possibly because it is almost 30 years old, but while listening to the book I felt a real feeling of dread and foreboding. Peter James really does do horror very well (I loved The House on Cold Hill). The ending did feel a little rushed/
Nathalie Buscombe does a fantastic job with the narration.

Absolutely brilliant!
I’ve listened to a lot of Peter James work but this is undoubtedly my favourite. I listened to the entire book in 24 hours because I couldn’t put it down. Tense, chilling, and absolutely captivating. I listened to some of his other supernatural books last year but for me, this one is in a different league. It helped that I really liked the narrator. In all honesty I often avoid books with young female voices as the narration is often dire and I get frustrated that the same few women are chosen again and again slaughtering great books when there are some great British actresses who could actually do the books justice. I really liked this narrator. She brought the story to life and did just enough to characterise without it getting in the way. Really glad I bought it.

Very gruesome!
I think these books are for horror fans only - not being one, the opening scene was just too gruesome and violent for me! I did finish the book (and the rest wasn't as bad) but I definitely wouldn't say 5star.

Tense
I love Peter James's Grace, and wondered how I would go with this. I liked the story, perhaps a bit predictable in parts. What I didn't like was the over done gore. Especially when children are involved. Bit of a no go area for me.

Got bored
Love Peter James. I read his Roy Grace books and thought I would give another genre a go, but I really struggled to stay interested. It was slow and not my cup of tea at all. Just downloaded another Roy Grace book as I still rate Peter James, but this one was a disappointment.

Not very good.
Barbara Cartland meets Denis Wheatly but.....the romance has no passion and the horror no tension. Lacking any suspense with shallow predictable characters, about as exciting as a mill pond, a very calm mill pond.
