The Secret of Cold Hill

The Spine-chilling, Pulse-pounding, Spooky Suspense Novel From The Number One Bestselling Author of the Roy Grace Series!

By: Peter James

Narrated by: Jack Hawkins

From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes The Secret of Cold Hill. The spine-chilling follow-up to The House on Cold Hill. Now a smash-hit stage play.

Cold Hill House has been razed to the ground by fire, replaced with a development of ultra-modern homes. Gone with the flames are the violent memories of the house’s history, and a new era has begun.

Although much of Cold Hill Park is still a construction site, the first two families move into their new houses. For Jason and Emily Danes, this is their forever home, and for Maurice and Claudette Penze-Weedell, it’s the perfect place to live out retirement. Despite the ever present rumble of cement mixers and diggers, Cold Hill Park appears to be the ideal place to live. But looks are deceptive and it’s only a matter of days before both couples start to feel they are not alone in their new homes.

There is one thing that never appears in the estate agent brochures: nobody has ever survived beyond forty in Cold Hill House and no one has ever truly left . . .

Critic reviews

Impeccable . . . (Sunday Times on The House on Cold Hill)

James is a compelling storyteller and he ratchets up the tension in increments, so that his readers will be suitably terrified. By the time you want to scream 'Look behind you!', it's already too late (‘Halloween Chillers’, Daily Mail, on The House on Cold Hill)

Hmmmm.....

The narrator was amazing and because of him I didn’t get mad at the book. The silliness of people to constant explain away very obvious THERE IS A GHOST or several....in your home. “Should I tell her”? Should the husband and wife tell each other you are seeing ghosts? My wife is the very first person I would talk to is If saw a ghost in our home. It’s stupid to think any differently. The beginning of the book has SO much detail. Every single detail.... detail about things that don’t even matter. I mean , why in the world spend so much time with the PW’s?! Then the end was really fast with no explanation of why this all started happening. What did the ghosts want? IDK......

great story!! awesome twists!

Hopefully get a another follow up to this book! Keeps you wanting more!!! please say there will be another in this series!

Awful

I really liked some of Peter James’s earlier works. I wish I hadn’t finished it. I kept expecting it to improve....it never did. It doesn’t even rate one star.
