My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell is a historical spooky thriller. Elsie is newly married and newly widowed, pregnant, and in her late husband’s country estate with a relative of his family. No one seems to be especially pleased to see her, and then there are some odd things happening.
They discover some strange wooden figures, and a diary from two hundred years before, all of which suggests something bad happened.
A gothic tale, with settings including a mental asylum, this was an unsettling and thrilling read.
The Silent Companions was published on 5th October 2017 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
