THE SILENT COMPANIONS: Laura Purcell
THE SILENT COMPANIONS
by Laura Purcell
Come sit down by the fire, and settle in for a gripping, ghostly story! The recently widowed Elsie arrives at her late husband’s crumbling, isolated estate to wait out her pregnancy. Her only company is her husband’s bookish cousin, the housekeeper and the Silent Companions: life sized painted wooden figures who seem to watch her every move. With a creepy, ghostly element, this is a terrific mystery and thriller. The old manor has a life of its own, every creak and shudder heavy with meaning. Or could it be as simple as poor Elsie losing her mind? You will have to read it to find out.
