ABOUT THIS BOOK After accepting a generous opportunity to start afresh, Leslie Wills, a young man from Stoke-on-Trent, eagerly begins his long-distance journey to the Scottish Highlands of Elphin, a settled village that sits huddled amongst the dominating mountains. Its people are welcoming, and the beauty of the land is great. But deep within its Highland paths, a location rests hidden from the public’s eye. A location which entices you to learn the truth of its troubled past. But once you bear witness to its sights and sounds, its presences will never allow you to forget. MY REVIEW An unusual tale that slowly builds up an atmosphere of tension and unease, ECHOES OF HOME by M.L. Rayner is a ghost story with an almost lyrical feel to it and is sure to please fans of this genre. Now that his mother has passed away, Leslie Wills is the only one left in the house where he grew up, and it's been years since he has had contact with any of his siblings. Feeling lost and unsure, Leslie must now try to figure out what his future will look like, but when his brother unexpectedly gives him an opportunity to move to the Scottish Highlands, Leslie jumps at the chance for a change. While everything seems to be welcoming and beautiful at the beginning, it isn't long before things become very strange. There is a haunting past alive here and it doesn't want you to ever forget. A classic ghost story, ECHOES OF HOME is the kind of book that you settle down with when you want to get cosy and lose yourself in a story for a while. The characters are interesting and the story is compelling, and its slow and steady pace suits the plotline as we begin to learn what has happened. Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author. AUTHOR BIO Born and bred in the county of Staffordshire.
