Trade ReviewA
creepy, chilling story - another Anna Mazzola triumph! * JENNIFER SAINT *
Chilling and compelling,
with echoes of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, this is a thrilling mystery with many eerie twists and turns to keep you hooked all through the night * ESSIE FOX *
Powerful, spine-tingling and beautifully penned, this is gothic historical fiction at its very best and cements Mazzola as one of its most talented exponents * ABIR MUKHERJEE *
Darkly atmospheric and
dripping with menace. Anna Mazzola is a
twisted genius * TAMMY COHEN *
Absolutely brilliant.
Gripping, beautifully written and properly chilling * CAROLINE GREEN *
Beautiful, chilling, and darkly enchanting. Anna Mazzola is a truly gifted storyteller, and in
The House of Whispers has created a novel so rich in detail, so clever and twisting * CHRIS WHITAKER *
Eerie and unsettling, but perhaps Anna Mazzola's superbly realised depiction of a nation gripped by the horrors of fascism is
the most terrifying thing of all * KATE GRIFFIN *
A wonderful tale, if also
deeply unsettling and creepy. I ripped through
The House of Whispers in double quick time * JAMES OSWALD *
Robert Harris meets M.R. James in an evocative gothic tale set in a Rome on the edge of catastrophe . . .
Mazzola's dazzling imagination is at its very peak * DAVID HEWSON *
The sense of place is impeccable,
the sense of danger truly chilling * SINÉAD CROWLEY *
The
thrilling tale of a woman caught between the pressures of pre-war Italy and the more mysterious manifestations of something amiss in her own household * ALISON LITTLEWOOD *
A delicately told ghost story set in the bright heat of 1930s Italy.
Claustrophobic and compelling * AMANDA MASON *
Packed with
political and emotional intrigue . . . historically rich and
deeply unsettling * SARAH HILARY *
Gothic, immersive and very, very scary . . . Set in 1939 Rome against the rise of fascism, injecting a
powerful sense of dread * ALLY WILKES *
A
gripping, thrilling story which had me hooked from the start, as the
terrifying reality of fascism in pre-war Italy is increasingly entwined in an
anguished marriage * MARY CHAMBERLAIN *
Tense historical fiction like no other . . .
Dark and mysterious with whispers of a buried past hidden in the walls. I cannot recommend
The House of Whispers highly enough * AJ WEST *
Supernatural events in a house mirror the creeping fascism in 1930s Rome . . . An
absolute page turner * JULIE OWEN MOYLAN *
What a rare treat . . . Offers a real insight into a little-explored era - in this case Mussolini's fascist destruction of Italy.
Utterly authentic * AK TURNER *
Anna Mazzola skilfully blends
personal trauma and political violence in her novel of innocence destroyed and betrayal - and adds a
dash of Gothic for good measure * ELIZABETH BUCHAN *
Fascinating, tense and very, very creepy * MICHAEL MALONE *
