'Malone is the master of twists, turns and the unexpected ... a master of his craft' Herald Scotland
'A fine, atmospheric chiller couched in Malone's customary elegant prose' Douglas Skelton
'A master storyteller at the very top of his game, Michael J. Malone weaves the most exquisite tale ... mesmeric and suspenseful' Marion Todd
________________
In the beginning there was fear.
White-hot, nerve-shredding fear.
Terrifying premonitions of deaths.
And then they started...
The Murmurs...
On the first morning of her new job at Heartfield House, a care home for the elderly, Annie Jackson wakens from a terrifying dream. And when she arrives at the home, she knows that the first old man she meets is going to die.
How she knows this is a terrifying mystery, but it is the start of horrifying premonitions ... a rekindling of the curse that has trickled through generations of women in her family - a wicked gift known only as 'the murmurs'...
With its reappearance comes an old, forgotten fear that is about to grip Annie Jackson.
And this time, it will never let go...
A compulsive gothic thriller and a spellbinding supernatural mystery about secrets and small communities, about faith, courage and self-preservation, The Murmurs is a startling and compulsive read from one of Scotland's finest authors...
