The story managed to continue to build with intensity, drawing me in just as the Whispering supposedly draws the unsuspecting hiker to the deadly drop to the boulders below. Dynamic and highly-detailed environments are for you to explore. We created a full-scale village that holds many mysteries. Each door can be opened, each building can be entered. Using the 360° panoramic viewing and the zoom in functionality, you can even examine every little detail that catches your eye. Is it too dark to see? Hold up your lantern to light your surroundings and uncover the horrors that darkness beholds.
Melpomene. One of the many tragic muses etched into Greek mythology, one who feeds on misery, tragedy, misgivings, a being so heinous that anyone careless enough to draw inspiration from such a creature shall only end up driving themselves mad. What is it about Keira? She just makes friends with people as soon as they look at her - they are inviting her to come hang with them.Our eclectic characterful rooms imbibe a fresh look at traditional Highland style. The interiors retain many of its period features such as cornices, alcoves, windows and fireplaces and we have added a mix of Victorian antique furniture. All our rooms either face the unspoilt hillside views or are overlooking the spectacular Loch Lochy alongside the majestic Great Glens. It reminded me at times of Jane Harper’s The Dry so if you’re a fan of that, I doubt you’ll be disappointed. See, it’s a very entertaining and easy breezy read. It’s kind of Horror-Lite. It’s got its spooky bits that do give a bit of a chill. Light gruesomeness, but not too much. Lots of buddy-humor. Remarkably light and leaves you smiling.
This did have ghosts and a haunting don’t get me wrong. But it also has a weird amnesia plot line, men with guns, and the mc running from someone who may or may not be out to kill her. And then just like on top of that she just didn’t happens to have the ability to see ghosts that she can apparently turn off and on? She’s supposed to be hiding from men who want to kill her, but instead of doing that she’s openly walking around town digging for info about a 50+ year old murder so she can put the ghost to rest? Don’t even get me started on the fact that she doesn’t know who’s dangerous or who isn’t…. But gives tons of info that could be important away. The whole memory thing was just….. ugh. I don’t wanna rip into this because it’s cozy horror….The novel opens with our protagonist, Callum Haffenden, returning (somewhat reluctantly) to Granite Creek. Despite his hesitation, he is implacably drawn to the latest missing person case in Granite Creek. Despite his dread of his past, of the whispering, he must, once and for all, discover the truth. It sure left a whole lot unanswered though. I know it's to build anticipation for the next book, and it's not a cliff-hanger exactly. But I really want some of the questions answered. Like who she was before she lost her memory and who it was that was chasing her and why. Okay so Emma had a child to Frank and left it in the mill's secret room so she could find Frank. Frank kills himself right over said room bug doesn't hear anything from the baby? You know what's driving me insane about this is that it's just Keira saying "it must have happened this way". So the baby died overnight in the summer and inside the secret room? Ummm okay! I hate Keira's speculation. Contributions should be travel related.

This was just the most hard to read Coates I’ve come across. You have to suspend your disbelief with all of her books…. But for this one I just kind of couldn’t.
The threat and presence of Melpomene – well I didn’t know much about this but I did wait until after the novel to research it and wow, so much to learn and investigate. I feel Laura must have had some fun researching all of this. Lots of plot holes throughout but I am guessing these will be wrapped up in future installments, this is essentially a novel broken into five parts. According to Darcy, this book has sat completed on her hard drive for years. Reading The Whispering Dead, I felt this was the work of a younger and less experienced author. The Whispering Dead is not up to par with other books by Darcy. Each review score is between 1-10.
