From the start, it is clear she is running away from something, and there are hints it might be related to an incident with her last employer.
While the work is not in the best location, there is a reason why Hester has taken a job in such a remote place far from the city. Set on the Cornish coast in an old mansion overlooking the sea-swept cliffs, the story follows Hester Why who has arrived to take up a position as a maid and nurse to ailing Miss Pinecroft, mistress of Morvoren House. Always reliable for a chilling and entertaining read, she’s fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Haunting Gothic horror with just the touch of the fae, The House of Whispers (also known as Bone China in the UK) is an evocative and atmospheric novel worthy of the Laura Purcell’s talent. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own.
