About this listen
Lorne’s home is turning into a dream. He’s happy and at peace for the first time in his life. The nightmares are releasing their grip on his mind and he’s learning to cope with the whispering dead.
Sadly, that’s not the case for everyone.
An old friend calls about a missing boy from a traveller’s camp on the Quantocks. They’ve been living on the site of an ancient hillfort, near the burial grounds of long forgotten souls.
These people don’t trust the police, but they do put their faith in an old soldier to bring their boy home.
When Lorne discovers this disappearance has a link to his childhood friend vanishing, more than thirty years before, his oldest fears start to rise and take form.
The ancient sites of the Quantocks, the modern world of Hickley Point’s new nuclear reactor, and ex-police officer Tony Shaw, start to weave a tapestry of darkness that threatens all the peace Lorne’s worked so hard to find.
Forgotten souls return to haunt the moor....

Story
The ability to see the ghosts of homicide victims has always been more burden than gift and, for 20-year-old Sullivan, it's never been heavier. As the storm of the century pummels the city, he finds himself sucked into a mystery, struggling to decipher clues from a ghost intent on saving a missing teenage girl. With time running out, Sullivan races to fulfill the ghost's desperate quest, a path that will take him into a world of witchcraft, dark secrets, and murder.

Story
Edward Meyer and his two children returned to his hometown of Miller's Crossing after the tragic loss of his wife. This move was ironic, since it was the tragic and mysterious death of his parents that forced him away 30 years ago. He wanted a quiet and peaceful setting for them to start over in, but what he found was anything but. Dark truths, a centuries old family secret, and a war as old as time itself await him. With the help of a trusted family friend and a religious relic, Edward joined the eternal battle of good versus evil and the devils of his past.

Meanwhile, Gillan McArdle’s academic career is ending because of one stupid lapse of judgement. Offered a short-term contract, he lands on the Hebridean island of Harris to investigate obscure animal bones. Quickly dismissing the unicorn skull as a thinly disguised fake, he can’t deny there’s something unusual about these bones. Baited by rumors of a majestic tusked horse roaming the uplands, Gill begins to suspect someone is manipulating him. As he gradually unravels the mystery of the skull, he grasps a disturbing conclusion: If this creature does exist, the evidence suggests it’s a killer.

More spooky happenings!
This is the fourth book in the series, and could be read as standalone, but I recommend reading at least the third book first.
I thought this story was the most supernatural story yet (I loved the Djinn!), but also the darkest. There is a lot of drama and trauma for Lorne and his friends to deal with. Old enemies and new have their agendas, and a missing boy brings up a mystery that has troubled Lorne all the way back to his childhood, and threaded through the series.
With that situation resolved and the bad guys dealt with, it felt a bit like a wrap up. I hope this isn't the end of eerie stories from the moor.
Edward Bloxam is back to channel Lorne, and gives another great performance.

Harrowing Occult Thriller
I liked book 4 of the "Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers" series as much as the first three books. This story kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would end. Lorne was working hard to achieve some peace from his demons when a friend asked him to help locate a missing boy. Lorne and his friends suffered a lot due to the obstacles they faced. The story was entertaining and captivating. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Edmund Bloxam's narration was great, and his performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Now I have to get "Counting Crows"
The narrator was very good. I enjoyed the timbre of his voice. The only thing bad I can say was that I had difficulty understanding some of what he was saying. Now this was probably because I had never heard him before so was unused to how he spoke and I would probably understand him better by listening to more of his work, So, that's on my list.
Joe Talon's "Salt for the Devil's Eye" kept me interested and anticipating getting back to listening. It was an interesting story that stands alone well but, I think reading/listening in sequence would definitely be better. I didn't notice that this one was the fourth book in the series and I look forward to going back to book 1, "Counting Crows".

The best of the Lorne Turner series.
I just finished listening to Salt for the Devil’s Eye – my fourth book from Joe Talon, and I have to say this is my favorite of the series. While I didn’t normally read/listen to supernatural thrillers, once I listened to Counting Crows, I was addicted to the Lorne Turner stores and every chance I got to listen to a review copy of each book, I jumped on it. One of the reasons I enjoy this series so much is I can identify with Lorne; I have friends with similar backgrounds and similar damage from that background. Of course, when you add Lorne to well-crafted stories you have everything necessary for highly entertaining reading/listening. Regarding listening, Edmond Bloxam does an excellent job bringing the story to life as well as breathing life into each character through unique voices and attitudes. I received a review copy of the audiobook from the author through StoryOrigin and chose to provide my review.

This is a good book to read. I like being able to see how the struggle with having multiple magic or voices in someones head. Looking for children that have came up missing and how the past comes back.

The narrator voice
I liked the book but it actually could have been better. the narrator voice keep Me from actually enjoying the full story, he sounded really bored which made the book just hard to coconcentrate on.
