The Winter Ghosts Audiobook

" Yes - a good read "

" Enjoyed this. Romantic, historical and mysterious. Touching story of loss and finding yourself "

" Not nearly as good as her other books (Labyrinth and Sepulchre), and a really quick read. "

" An interesting story line re: a young man torn by war and for all intense purposes goes stray on a snowy road trip. Because of the way the story is written (ie language/tone) it is very difficult to get into the story and I find my mind drifting periodically...still worth the read though! "

" This book helped me understand my father a bit more as it described the emotional trials of lossing a much loved brother to war. "

" A perfect little book for All Hallows' Eve. I enjoyed this quick read, Thanks to a friend who recommended it. "

" A good listen on audio book. Loved the musical interludes. A man, haunted by his brother's death in WW1, crashes his car on a remote French mountain road. His encounter with a lovely young girl and the town's people make for a very interesting tale. "

" Mosse writes well enough, but her hero in this book is rather naive, delusional, and one-dimensional. I didn't need to read it all to figure out that Freddie was talking to a ghost. Like LABYRINTH, the setting is in the southwestern part of France. Again, the author centers the story around Catharism in medieval times. "

" This was a book I kept on the nitestand and read over the course of 2 months just a few pages at a time. A good book. Have read 2 others by this author and enjoy them, but this is not my favorite author. "

" Beautifully written and highly recommended. "

" Beautifully written, beautifully read. The audio version of this ghost story was superb. The book early on establishes Freddy as someone wrestling with mental illness and deep pain. The reader feels compassion for him and cares for him. The plot, the character development, and the setting are all perfect. "

" This is a lovely quick read with clean and concise prose, so clean and uncluttered, in fact, that I wondered if the author's target audience is really Young Adult, particularly in view of the black and white etchings in the book. That said, I wizzed through the book, enjoying both the setting and the subject matter. I'm looking forward to tackling her other two and will keep them on standby when I need a reading "lift". "

" Simple story, quick read. More of a short story than a novel I thought. "

" Good for a cozy night in "

" Another supernatural adventure - good idea for the plot and main character, but executed in a very obvious way - no surprises here! "

" Slow in some parts, but decent story. I would read this author again. "

" I was a little disappointed that this book didn't grip me as much as Labyrinth and Sepulchre. It was good, but not as good as either of the previous works. "

" THis is a good short story. It's not really a surprise what's going on, but the evolution of the main character throughout his experience is what is key here. This is a story about grieving and moving on. "

" a simple story with a deep meaning about how we let things and events control our life. "

" slow read. i think i like a fast-pace read. this has too much introspection and detailed and long description of his surroundings. i like the intertwining of history and the spirits wanting closure and peace. i found this beautiful. "

" on Kindle. I love Kate Mosse--read Labyrinth and Sepulchre. This is set in the same part of France. "

" Kate Mosse is an amazing writer. The Winter Ghosts is a ghost story, but it's also a story of grief and mourning, of losing those we love and how that makes us who we are. I really enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down once I started it. "

" This book was a little gem of a ghost story. I loved the setting and the feel of the book. There isn't a lot of plot but rather a parable about grief and loss and war. "

" Man haunted by memories brother who perished in WWI meets medieval ghost. Kind of weird and interesting enough to finish, but nothing mind-blowing. "

" This book had a very heavy feeling to it. Interesting but not my favorite. "

" One man's tragedy simultaneously plunges him into madness and leads him to love and redemption in Kate Mosse's The Winter Ghosts. Though this book started off very slow for me, the ending was well-spun. "

" A very well written, although largely predictable, ghost story. "

" This was a very short book that I pretty much read on a cross-country airplane flight over the weekend. I liked it. I really like Kate Mosse's other books. This was a short taste of her larger,longer fiction books -- Labyrinth, Sepulchre and I can't wait for the third to come out next year!!! "

" A lovely haunting and poignant Christmas-time ghost story. No real brain power required but a good read which, as Mosse often does, intertwines the past and the present. "

" Outside my usual reading patterns but this was a nice little tidbit. "

" my first taste of Kate and just wow "

" I really enjoyed Labyrinth and Sepulchre but found this a real let down. The lack of characters I think is the downfall. We only really have one character to care about and he does not have enough going to make you care greatly about the outcome. Also all horribly predictable throughout. "

" The only reason I haven't given this book five stars is that it was too short! That's not to say it wasn't a brilliant, well-rounded story, there was nothing missing, I just loved it so much I just wanted more! "

" One of my first audiobooks, and this was a great book to listen to. I had heard that Katie Moss was an excellent author, and I agree. "

" Slow in some parts, but decent story. I would read this author again. "

" A sweet romance about a ghost from the 14th Century who helps a soldier after WW1. Just read it because it deals with the history of the Cathars in the area we will be visiting in France. Liked it much better than Labrynthe. A quick read. "

" Concise ghost tale about the lost Carhars of France. I read in one sitting. "

" could have been a short story "

" I really liked Labyrinth, so I thought I would give this a try... I didn't find it nearly as clever. It was a pretty short book, so that was nice, but I was underwhelmed. "

" so far great,hard to put down. "

" Holiday read, I remember it being not as good as Labyrinth / Sepulchure and feeling disappointed by that. "

" Predictable, but I'm a sucker for a ghost story. "

" Short, haunting, makes me dream of France. "

" A very little book and story much like a not-so-scary Wilkie Collins tale where nothing much happens and there really is nothing scary at all - but - I still enjoyed it. Maybe because it was well written. "
