"In the beginning there was fear. White-hot, nerve-shredding fear. Terrifying premonitions of deaths. And then they started... On the first morning of her new job at Heartfield House, a care home for the elderly, Annie Jackson wakens from a terrifying dream. And when she arrives at the home, she knows that the first old man she meets is going to die. How she knows this is a terrifying mystery, but it is the start of horrifying premonitions, a rekindling of the curse that has trickled through generations of women in her family - a wicked gift known only as 'the murmurs'. With its reappearance comes an old, forgotten fear that is about to grip Annie Jackson. And this time, it will never let go. A compulsive gothic thriller and a spellbinding supernatural mystery about secrets and small communities, about faith, courage and self-preservation."-- Provided by the publisher.
