About this listen

Most Anticipated by Goodreads

Unbearably tense, utterly propulsive, and studded with folklore and horror, Something in the Walls is perfect for anyone who loves Midsommar and The Haunting of Hill House.

Newly-minted child psychologist Mina has little experience. In a field where the first people called are experts, she’s been unable to get her feet wet. Instead, she aimlessly spends her days stuck in the stifling heat wave sweeping across Britain, and anxiously contemplating her upcoming marriage to careful, precise researcher Oscar. The only reprieve from her small, close world is attending the local bereavement group to mourn her brother’s death from years ago. That is, until she meets journalist Sam Hunter at the grief group one day. And he has a proposition for her.

Alice Webber is a thirteen year old girl who claims she’s being haunted by a witch. Living with her family in their crowded home in the remote village of Banathel, Alice’s symptoms are increasingly disturbing, and money is tight. Taking this job will give Mina some experience; Sam will get the scoop of a lifetime; and Alice will get better, Mina is sure of it.

But instead of improving, Alice’s behavior becomes increasingly inexplicable and intense. The town of Banathel has a deep history of superstition and witchcraft. They believe there is evil in the world. They believe there are ways of…dealing with it. And they don’t expect outsiders to understand.

As Mina races to uncover the truth behind Alice’s condition, the dark cracks of Banathel begin to show. Mina is desperate to understand how deep their sinister traditions go–and how her own past may be the biggest threat of all.

"Unexpected, mesmerizing, and totally original...will keep you guessing until its wild end."–#1 International Bestselling author Darby Kane

"Harrowing and moving...Pearce has written something magical. There are scenes in this book I'll never forget."–Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile

Critic reviews

"A rewarding folk thriller... What begins as a supernatural thriller gradually develops into a thoughtful meditation on grief and groupthink, with enough pathos and drama to keep the pages turning. It’s a winner."–Publishers Weekly

"In this tense page-turner, Pearce weaves together folklore and horror to create a haunting suspense novel that readers will not soon forget."–Library Journal

“A deliciously creepy and twisty chiller that fans of The Conjuring and Stephen King will love.”–Bestselling author Mark Edwards

Mostly solid creepiness

I enjoyed this quite a bit overall. It's a moody story that has its disturbing moments and goes to some unexpected places, it kept me engaged and anxious to find out what was going on. It's basically the ending that holds it back a bit - it moves along a bit too fast towards the end, and feels like it doesn't wrap up every plot that in a way that feels more aggravating than intriguing. But it was still worthwhile on the whole, it gets a solid recommend.

Disappointing

It was intriguing at first, but the main character, a woman, is so weak and insecure. I found the ending very frustrating.

Excellent Thriller!

This story had me hooked from the beginning! I loved the way this story unfolded. It creeped me out just enough to also keep me coming back for more. I felt like I was watching a suspenseful thriller the entire time I listened. I’ll probably listen to this again.

it was ok

it was just fair. The main character wasn't very likable. She was extremely insecure and wishy washy. The reporter was a shell of a character. Barely any development.
