I hadn't read anything by Michael J Malone prior to The Murmurs, but I will definitely be delving into his back catalogue in the future.
It was the word “gothic” that drew me, and the premise of the book. Curses, psychic visions. What's not to like?
The Murmurs is a gripping, tension filled read. The story is told across several timelines and from several perspectives, but it is easy to follow and grabs you right from the first page. It is as much psychological thriller as gothic thriller. It ticked a lot of boxes for me.
