The Nightspinners

More about the book

Growing up in rural Georgia, Susannah and her twin, Marina, could silently communicate in a secret language they called "nightspinning." But as they grew older, Susannah became tired of having a doppelganger, particularly one who could read her every thought; and so after college, when their mother died, Susannah made her escape.As an adult, Susannah cannot shake the feeling that she has abandoned and betrayed her sister. And when Marina is the victim of a brutal murder -- the perpetrator of which has not yet been caught -- Susannah's guilt becomes nearly unbearable. When she experiences a series of inexplicable events -- a funereal flower arrangement sent anonymously, the sound of someone humming a childhood song in the dark, a lock of hair taped to her mirror -- and then learns that similar events preceded Marina's murder, she is forced to ask herself: Is the same person now coming after her? Is she going crazy? Or is Marina trying some form of nightspinning from beyond, in order to warn her or seek revenge? A chilling, hypnotic read, The Nightspinners is psychological suspense at its best.
