Something in the Walls
Unbearably tense, utterly propulsive, and studded with folklore and horror, Something in the Walls is perfect for anyone who loves Midsommar and The Haunting of Hill House.
Newly-minted child psychologist Mina has little experience. In a field where the first people called are experts, she’s been unable to get her feet wet. Instead she aimlessly spends her days stuck in the stifling heat wave sweeping across Britain, and anxiously contemplating her upcoming marriage to careful, precise researcher Oscar. The only reprieve from her small, close world is attending the local bereavement group to mourn her brother’s death from years ago. That is, until she meets journalist Sam Hunter at the grief group one day. And he has a proposition for her.

Praise for Daisy Pearce
“Pearce is superb – she is relentless, catching your mind and leading you into the dark. A must read.”
“Loved this book. Stephen Kingesque with elements of Donna Tartt’s Secret History and Daniel Handler’s Basic Eight. A great, pacy read – couldn’t put it down.”
“Brilliant brilliant brilliant I absolutely loved this book.”
“Could not put it down. I tore through this book in a few glorious hours one weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. GRIPPING!”
“I loved this book. The protagonist Stella Wiseman is vulnerable and fragile yet her strength is palpable. I found myself really rooting for her the whole way through despite (and possibly because of) her flaws. There’s a surprising supernatural element which is cleverly woven through the story.”
“This was seriously one of the most creepy books I’ve ever read. It was because it was so believable that it made my blood run cold.”
“This story was packed with a punch and a half! I devoured it and was thinking about the story even when I didn’t have the book in my hands… and when that happens, YOU KNOW IT’S GOOD! There were so many characters involved – suspicious, crazy, and vengeful ones, and twists and turns at every chapter.”
“As an avid reader of mystery/thrillers and some horror novels, this is by far one of the best combinations of both I have read for quite some time.”
“Pearce is superb -with twists and turns that keep you running forward into the dark.”
I loved this. I picked it up after enjoying the 1st book so much and wasn’t disappointed. Kept me guessing right up to the bitter end and even with a hectic family life I found I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to the next one and loved the little cameo from The Silence.
