About this audiobook
They are dying, one by one: wealthy middle-aged women in an exclusive Connecticut suburb. Their murderer remains at large. Nora Chancel, wife of publishing scion Davey Chancel, fears she may be next. After all, her past has branded her a victim. . . .
Then Davey tells Nora a surreal story about the Hellfire Club, where, years before, he met an obsessed fan of Chancel House's most successful book, Night Journey—a book that has a strange history of its own. . . .
Suddenly terror engulfs Nora: She must defend herself against fantastic accusations even as a madman lies in wait. And when he springs, Nora will embark on a night journey that will put her fears to rest forever, dead or alive. . . .

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Why do the chapters skip from 71 to 93, leaving a huge hole is the already silly plot? And then these chapters appear in the recording after the supposed end of the story? Recording issues aside, this isn’t a very good book. The characters are caricatures. The plot is ridiculous. And I usually enjoy this narrator, but his style does not suit the story.

Everything, it was horrible! Too much Dick Dart! Only finished just to get it over with!
