About this listen
Ghosts don't exist in our world of today. Life is too pragmatic, too consuming, too busy for past lives to linger on longer than their allotted time, or so Halcyon had believed, until she received a letter from a lawyer claiming that her mother, whom she had thought long dead, had actually been living in another part of the country since Halcyon's early childhood. She had only recently passed away, leaving Halcyon heir to an unexpected fortune and an estate on an isolated island in the middle of the Great Lakes.
Setting out to find some answers, Halcyon travels to her mother's home. But will she be prepared for the ghastly family history that waits for her there, the visions and revelations that will change everything that she thought she knew about the father she lived with and the mother she'd lost long ago?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
Daniel is desperate for a fresh start. So when a mysterious figure slides a note under his door offering the position of groundskeeper at an ancient estate, he leaps at the chance, even though it seems too good to be true. Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The abandoned mansion is straight out of those old gothic mysteries: the front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It's clear no one has lived here in a long time...but he has nowhere else to go.

In 1919, Kitty Weekes, pretty, resourceful, and on the run, falsifies her background to obtain a nursing position at Portis House, a remote hospital for soldiers left shell-shocked by the horrors of the Great War. Hiding the shame of their mental instability in what was once a magnificent private estate, the patients suffer from nervous attacks and tormenting dreams. But something more is going on at Portis House—its plaster is crumbling, its plumbing makes eerie noises, and strange breaths of cold waft through the empty rooms.

England, 1881. Hereford Cathedral stands sentinel over the city, keeping its secrets, holding long forgotten souls in its stony embrace. Hecate Cavendish speeds through the cobbled streets on her bicycle, skirts hitched daringly high, heading for her new life as Assistant Librarian. But this is no ordinary collection of books. The cathedral houses an ancient chained library, wisdom guarded for centuries, mysteries and stories locked onto its worn, humble shelves. The most prized artifact, however, is the medieval world map which hangs next to Hecate’s desk.

Atmosphere plus
Would you listen to The Tale of Halcyon Crane again? Why?
I have listened to this twice since purchasing it. It's one that I am sure I will return to again. It's genuinely atmospheric with a hint of gothic.
What other book might you compare The Tale of Halcyon Crane to and why?
The Thirtieth Tale. Anything by Kate Morton.
What about Cassandra Campbell???s performance did you like?
Her voice is even and fluctuates well with the rise and fall of the story
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I could have listened straight through
Any additional comments?
A great ghost story with some real scary moments. Loved it.

Addicted
I can't get enough of Wendy Webb's stories! I loved this one. I was able to predict some of it but still be totally surprised by a twist. can't wait for more!
The narrator was good and able to keep me engaged with the story. Good pacing.

Wendy Webb Delivers Again
Would you listen to The Tale of Halcyon Crane again? Why?
YES! I'd listen to it two or three more times (maybe more) By knowing the ending and listening to it again you see the web Wendy weaves more clearly. You catch little nuances you may have overlooked the first time.
What other book might you compare The Tale of Halcyon Crane to and why?
Not sure.
What does Cassandra Campbell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Cassandra is clearly a performer. An actress spinning a performance using only words is a special talent. Wendy Web is fortunate to find such talent to narrate her stories.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, when Halcyon's father thought she had killed her childhood friend he made a HUGE sacrifice to protect her. Then dedicated his life being her protector.
Any additional comments?

SUPER (natural)
Loved it! Subject matter that I enjoy-ghosts, people who see ghosts & a witch without being adolescent or corny. This is my first book by Wendy Webb & I’m going to search for more right now😁

A nice modern gothic story
I get impatient with the gothic trope of blindness and willful stupidity. But Wendy Webb doesn't overdue it and adroitly moves the story forward. One of the best of it's type. A nice plot and a nice story. I really liked it.

Wow!
This book starts out a little slowly, but ends up with fascinating and (sometimes) unnerving plot twists. I loved the descriptive wording that evoked so many different emotions during the tale. Definitely a book that I will read again!
