<strong>PRAISE FOR THE SILENT COMPANIONS</strong>

<p>Ghost stories are for Christmas. Some recent ones haven’t quite got it right but <strong>this is terrific</strong>. Perfect setting, great build-up, chilling. <strong>What more could you want?</strong></p>
<p>― <em>Susan Hill, author of The Woman in Black </em></p>
<p>Layering on the <strong>dark and creepy</strong>, this <strong>intriguingly plotted</strong> novel is the full-blown Gothic, maintaining throughout <strong>an unsettling claustrophobic atmosphere</strong> mixed with some unusual historical detail</p>
