Second Glance audiobook by Jodi Picoult

In the tranquil setting of a cozy garden, surrounded by blooming flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves, I found myself captivated by the haunting tale of Second Glance audiobook by Jodi Picoult. This unique story explores the world of ghost hunting, a subject that Picoult has not delved into before. As a fan of her previous works, I was intrigued to see how she would tackle this new dimension.

Set in Comtosook, a place shrouded in mystery and cultural beliefs of the Indians, the story revolves around a man attempting to sell a piece of land that is believed to be a burial ground. As supernatural incidents begin to plague the construction site, the company is forced to bring in Ross Wakeman, a renowned ghost hunter.

Wakeman’s character is deeply complex and tormented, having faced numerous hardships in his own life. His sole desire is to reunite with the woman he loved so dearly. However, his journey in this town introduces him to another woman with extraordinary powers and an insatiable quest for something greater.

Picoult’s meticulous research shines through in this novel as she delicately handles sensitive cultural beliefs. The inclusion of Indian traditions adds depth and authenticity to the story, showcasing her dedication to providing an accurate portrayal.

While not as varied as some of Picoult’s other works like A Spark of Light and Leaving Time, George Guidall delivers a solid performance as the narrator. He skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere and effectively conveys the impact of ghosts on both characters and audience alike.

Overall, Second Glance audiobook offers an intriguing blend of paranormal elements and thought-provoking themes. It is another testament to Jodi Picoult’s ability to explore diverse subjects while maintaining her signature storytelling style.
