15 Jan THE SILENT COMPANION
Sometimes when you read a book, you don’t feel scared at all. You read it as if it’s nothing! But after you complete the book it gives you serious horror vibes at night!
This book definitely belongs to that category! The book begins at a psychiatric centre where the main character of the book is trapped oblivious to her surrounding!
The book then goes into a flash back mode talking about the main character who is a newly widowed, Elsie Bainbridge sent to her husband Rupert’s country estate with his cousin as it was there his last rites were going to be performed. Everyone including the people staying at that estate were unresponsive, and she missed her old way of life!There she discovers a that her husband was renovating their estate to welcome their unborn child. She decides that she will fulfill his last wish but during the refurbishment she finds a strange room with an unusual life like wooden doll of a girl. They also find a diary of Rupert’s ancestor! What follows is the remaining plot which will totally surprise the reader!
I was able to complete in 3 hours in my 9-hour journey to my home town in train. It is a fast paced read and the author makes sure you get hooked till the end especially after the main character finds out about the wooden figurine! The beginning can be a bit slow but don’t give up, just read on for a few more pages and then you will be glad that you picked this one to read!
I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to read her other books!
RATING: 4 out of 5
