Description

The Queen of the ghost story returns - dare you enter the House of Splinters?

Belinda Bainbridge has spent her life in the shadow of her controlling mother, so when her father-in-law dies at The Bridge, his remote ancestral seat, she is secretly thrilled. His death means she, her husband Wilfred and their children can relocate and finally begin to create their own happy home. But when her husband's brother, Nathan, abruptly arrives at the estate from abroad - bringing with him rumours of witchcraft and a curse - everything changes.

Belinda has questions. What happened to Nathan and Wilfred's sister in childhood? What led to the sudden death of her father in law?

And what part do the strange carved figures around the household have to play in the events?

The outstanding new haunted story from the Queen of the Gothic, Laura Purcell. Loved by readers, The Silent Companions was the winner of the W H Smith Thumping Good Read Award and picked for both the Radio 2 Book Club and the Zoe Ball ITV Book Clubs. House of Splinters revisits her iconic setting of The Bridge for a fresh new tale to chill new readers and existing fans to their very depths.
