A mother with an empty nest is being haunted by a ghostly
children's choir. Are they giving her an important message
that only she can hear, or are their motives more
sinister?
Louise Beeston is being
haunted.
Louise has no reason left to stay in the
city. She can’t see her son, Joseph, who is away at boarding
school, where he performs in a prestigious boys’ choir. Her
troublesome neighbor has begun blasting choral music at all
hours of the night—and to make matters worse, she’s the only
one who can hear it.
Hoping to find some peace,
Louise convinces her husband, Stuart, to buy them a country
house in an idyllic, sun-dappled gated community called
Swallowfield. But it seems that the haunting melodies of the
choir have followed her there. Could it be that her city
neighbor has trailed her to Swallowfield, just to play an
elaborate, malicious prank? Is there really a ghostly chorus
playing outside her door? And why won’t they stop? Growing
desperate, she begins to worry about her mental
health.
Against the pleas and growing disquiet of her
husband, Louise starts to suspect that this sinister choir
is not only real but a warning. But of what? And how can it
be, when no one else can hear it?
In The Orphan
Choir, Sophie Hannah brings us along on a darkly
suspenseful investigation of obsession, loss, and the
malevolent forces that threaten to break apart a loving family.
