Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
1647: A small group of Parliamentarian soldiers are ambushed in an isolated part of Northern England. Their only hope for survival is to flee into the nearby Moresby Wood...unwise though that may seem. For Moresby Wood is known to be an unnatural place, the realm of witchcraft and shadows, where the devil is said to go walking by moonlight...
Seventeen men enter the wood. Only two are ever seen again, and the stories they tell of what happened make no sense. Stories of shifting landscapes, of trees that appear and disappear at will...and of something else. Something dark. Something hungry.
Today, five women are headed into Moresby Wood to discover, once and for all, what happened to that unfortunate group of soldiers. Led by Dr Alice Christopher, an historian who has devoted her entire academic career to uncovering the secrets of Moresby Wood. Armed with metal detectors, GPS units, mobile phones and the most recent map of the area (which is nearly 50 years old), Dr Christopher's group enters the wood ready for anything. Or so they think.

A good story ruined by poor narration
The premise sounded good, and the story was okay.
The problem for me was the narration: the female narrator was good, she brought light and shade to the different characters and illustrated the story well.
The male narrator was just plain wrong for the part: it was supposed to be a group of soldiers during the English Civil War in the seventeenth century but the narrator had a modern black London accent, pronouncing words such as "striking" as "shtrikin'" which I found very distracting and inappropriate, and ultimately I stopped listening because of it.

Great promise, faded away
A really exciting idea, well set up, pulling in creepy folk law and believable characters. Unfortunately the story seemed to just fade away. I really enjoyed the performance of the two talented voice actors.

Struggled…
I m sure this is better as a book to read….there is a female (covering the present storyline) and a male narrator (covering the historical storyline) . The historical lines narrator had a very modern accent/phraseology and it made it confusing….he is a good narrator, but not suited to a historical aspect.
Aside from this the first half was promising, at the point the group broke off I lost interest…and struggled to focus to the point I gave up.
The premise is good, I would recommend buying this as a physical book.
