HTML:<p><b><i>"</i></b>Narrator Tinashe Warikandwa gives dimension to the featured character, Ropa, as she makes her way in a harsh environment. Warikandwa captures the spirit of a young teen who quit school to become a ghost stalker to support her gran, sister, and self." — <i>AudioFile Magazine</i><br /> <b><br /> <i>Sixth Sense</i> meets <i>Stranger Things</i> in T. L. Huchu's <i>The Library of the Dead</i>, a sharp contemporary fantasy following a precocious and cynical teen as she explores the shadowy magical underside of modern Edinburgh.<br /> WHEN GHOSTS TALK<br /> SHE WILL LISTEN<br /></b><br /> Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker – and they sure do love to talk. Now she speaks to Edinburgh's dead, carrying messages to those they left behind. A girl's gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someone's bewitching children – leaving them husks, empty of joy and strength. It's on Ropa's patch, so she feels honor-bound to investigate. But what she learns will rock her world.<br /> Ropa will dice with death as she calls on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. And although underground Edinburgh hides a wealth of dark secrets, she also discovers an occult library, a magical mentor and some unexpected allies.<br /> Yet as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted?<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books<br /></b>"A fast-moving and entertaining tale, beautifully written." – Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of <i>Rivers of London<br /></i><br /> "An absolute delight . . . kept me totally hooked." – Genevieve Cogman, bestselling author of <i>The Invisible Library</i></p>.
