Set in the 1860s, most of the action takes place in a creepy old house. However, after the scene had been set, I was disappointed to find the book was full of clichés and obvious plot twists. In fact, it kept my attention all through the train journey. The book was easy to get into with a sinister plot and an atmospheric setting. I often crave dark, mysterious novels in the autumn and The Silent Companions sounded like just the thing, with reviews promising a haunting Gothic tale.Īt first I thought I was in luck. I read it in November on my mini honeymoon to Český Krumlov, a fairytale-like town in the South Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.
I bought this book purely for its prettiness, but it turned out to be a situation of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’.
