The story follows Lizzie who has a troubled past, from being abandoned at a church as a newborn, growing up in care through to an incident in her work life she’d rather leave in the past.

Poltergeists have been written off as natural phenomena such as water under the house, psychological issues, and even mass forms of energy that the person being haunted is unknowingly controlling. They not only cause you immense emotional and psychological harm, but they can also physically harm you. Poltergeists can touch you and make noise, but there isn’t another type of ghost that can speak to you.

About this book

Usually, a ghost will behave the same way they did when they were alive. If they were kind, they will still be kind. If they were mean, you probably don’t want them in your home. Their Death & Unfinished Business Fortunately, unlike an Orb, a poltergeist is a fairly rare type of ghost. We don’t hear about them very often.

This is the first time I have listened to Ann Cleeves in audiobook form and I am unsure if this is also a factor in my level of enjoyment. I prefer to read her in print. However, there’s always the other end of the spectrum where that unfinished business can become very dark and sinister.

There are a few different types and different paranormal entities that a ghost can be confused with.
