Ghost Virus

Patel and Pardoe, Book 1

De: Graham Masterton

Narrado por: Mark Meadows

The girl had been staring into her mirror all morning before she picked up the small bottle of sulphuric acid and poured it over her forehead. Samira was a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. What could have brought her to this?

DC Jerry Pardoe and DS Jamila Patel of Tooting Police suspect it's suicide. But then a meek husband kills his wife, and the headteacher of the local school throws her pupils out of a window. It's no longer a random outbreak of horrific crimes. It's a deadly virus. And it's spreading. Somehow, ordinary Londoners are being infected with an insatiable lust to murder. All of the killers were wearing secondhand clothes.

Could these garments be possessed by some supernatural force?

The death count is multiplying. Now Jerry and Jamila must defeat the ghost virus before they are all infected....

Different look at what could be!!!

I liked this book it was definitely different!! Loved the characters each had a personality I liked!! Good book!!

Goosebumps for adults, and I love it!

Did I expect clothes to become serial killers? No, why would I. Did the storyline work wonderfully? Indeed it did! What a fun and gory story. The narration was also very good. 5/5 stars

Like Direct to Video 80s Horror

Ghost Virus by Graham Masterson feels like it was unearthed from a different era of horror, for both good and bad. The character work is adequate if occasionally a little flat. The plot is functional but exists mostly to showcase the book's greatest asset, creative and gruesome scenes of intense, supernatural bloodlust. The forces behind these grisly scenes are arguably a bit silly, but Masterson commits to the unique concept with an earnestness that actually really worked for me and elevated it from what could have been pure schlock. Your mileage will likely vary based on how much you enjoy your stories served with a side order of blood and guts. I expect I'll pick up the rest of the series at some point.

okay, I can get into this

Every once in a while you run into a freebie that is actually good.
Great characters thar are likeable, good pace, excellent narrator, and interesting plot.
This isn't a deep thinker, more like a great lazy weekend listen.
I've already purchased the 2nd book and am looking forward to see what these two detectives do next.

FYI, even though this book is fairly lighthearted, it does have alot of vivid gruesome scenes. If a 9 yr old girl eating her dog or someone cutting a penis off and frying it in a pan doesn't bother you, then you'll be just fine with Ghost Virus 🙂

Doesn’t make sense. But fun

In no world does this story make sense. It was well written. So listen and have fun.

I am a die hard Stephen King horror fam. He recommended Mr Mastertons books and I’m hooked!

Maybe a bit slow on the build but it has all the elements good horror has. Highly recommend!

Clothes that go bump in the night. Innovative, original, character driven, plot driven, But above all superbly Listed and greatly enjoyable. Draws you in from starts to finish, a well written and thrilling piece of writing. As the saying goes, the devil is in the, details,

what an ending!

It was a great story kept you on your toes and then the ending was perfect!

Pointless

Gore for the sake of gore leaves me flat and the story hook didn't drawl me in enough to invest any more time in the series.

The stupidity of it all.

I finished this book just to see how it ended. I wish the story line was as exciting as the final words at the ending of the book.
