Annie is the FMC who \u2018hears\u2019? or maybe experiences, the murmurs \u2013 part of which is the curse of knowing how someone is going to die, so she isolates herself as much as possible. <i>Can you blame her?!<\/i> Lewis is her twin brother and features quite a lot in this book. Clare Corrigan is a police officer, local to the area and becomes involved in helping Annie and her brother find a missing person \u2013 someone close to Annie. The book is rich with characters that you\u2019ll either love or loathe.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I really enjoyed (as I do with all of Michael J. Malone\u2019s books) the fact that for me, it is in the moment type reading so if you\u2019re a visual reader like me, you\u2019re in for a treat. There\u2019s a great build up of suspense and the revelations will have your jaw on the floor. <\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Would I recommend this book?
