Description
LAURA PURCELL'S HOUSE OF SPLINTERS IS AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW
As featured on the Radio 2 Book Club
Some doors are locked for a reason...
Newly married, newly widowed Elsie is sent to see out her pregnancy at her late husband’s crumbling country estate, The Bridge.
With her new servants resentful and the local villagers actively hostile, Elsie only has her husband’s awkward cousin for company. Or so she thinks. For inside her new home lies a locked room, and beyond that door lies a two-hundred-year-old diary and a deeply unsettling painted wooden figure – a Silent Companion – that bears a striking resemblance to Elsie herself...
‘[An] extraordinary, memorable and truly haunting book’ Jojo Moyes
‘[It] shone, for originality for the sheer quality of the writing, the characters and some masterly chills’ Peter James

'Phenomenal'
'Will stay with you long after you have finished reading'

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell has received praise for its unnerving and compelling narrative, described as an atmospheric gothic tale that is both chilling and beautifully written. Critics highlight its ability to haunt and engross readers, likening it to masterful gothic fiction while noting its psychological depth and atmosphere. The book is celebrated for being a compulsively readable ghost story that turns pages on its own, leaving a lingering sense of horror in the reader's mind.
