A Ghost of a Chance

About This Audiobook

Josh Lanyon’s *A Ghost of a Chance* is a deliciously eerie romance that blurs the lines between ghost story and love tale, wrapped in the kind of gothic atmosphere that lingers long after the final word. Set against the fog-choked cliffs of a decaying seaside mansion, it follows a skeptical historian who’s hired to authenticate a recently uncovered suicide letter—only to uncover something far more haunting. The plot crackles with dry wit and slow-burn tension, as the protagonist navigates not just the mystery of David Berkeley’s death, but the unsettling allure of his ghost. Lanyon’s prose is sharp, laced with period detail and modern irreverence, making this a ghost story for readers who prefer their hauntings with heart—and a side of smirk.

The audiobook’s strength lies in Kevin R. Free’s velvety narration, which balances the protagonist’s world-weariness with the ghost’s spectral charm. Free’s voice shifts effortlessly between the historian’s gruff skepticism and the ghost’s honeyed, almost seductive whispers, imbuing the story with an intimacy that’s rare in audiobooks. The pacing is brisk, yet the ghostly presence feels tangible, thanks to Free’s ability to make even the most mundane descriptions feel charged with unseen energy. It’s a performance that elevates the material, turning what could’ve been a straightforward supernatural romance into something unsettlingly immersive.
