The Witching Hour

Jot Davies and Lucy Walker-Evans deliver a mesmerizing duet in Deborah Carr’s The Witching Hour. Their performances are so vivid that it's hard to tell where the narration ends and the story begins, making the characters come alive with every whisper and sigh. The narrative is tightly paced, but there’s a poignant slowness when needed, allowing the sinister atmosphere of Nazi-occupied Jersey to seep into your consciousness. A specific critique: while the coven scenes are particularly chilling, some listeners might find the pacing slightly uneven in these sections. Nonetheless, this audiobook stands as a compelling exploration of family secrets and survival under oppressive regimes, making it a standout addition to historical fiction and witchcraft narratives.
