The Silent Companions - Laura Purcell

This chilling Gothic novel follows Elsie, newly widowed and sent to her late husband’s decaying estate, The Bridge, to await the birth of her child. With hostile servants, unfriendly villagers, and only her husband’s cousin for company, Elsie soon discovers a locked room containing a 200-year-old diary and a Silent Companion—a painted wooden figure that eerily resembles her.

Praised as “extraordinary, memorable, and truly haunting” (Jojo Moyes) with “masterly chills” (Peter James), The Silent Companions has captivated readers who call it “phenomenal,” “spooky,” and “unputdownable.”
