Something In The Wall

Something In The Wall by Daisy Pearce

Newly certified child psychologist Mina is struggling to find her footing. In a field where experience is everything, she's yet to land her first real case. Instead, she drifts through endless days under the oppressive heat wave suffocating Britain, all while wrestling with doubts about her upcoming marriage to Oscar—a meticulous, methodical researcher. Her only escape from the confines of her life is the local bereavement group, where she continues to grieve the brother she lost years ago.

That changes when she meets journalist Sam Hunter at one of the meetings. He has a proposition: investigate Alice Webber, a thirteen-year-old girl who insists she's being haunted by a witch. Alice lives with her struggling family in the remote village of Banathel, and her increasingly disturbing symptoms are raising alarm. With resources scarce, they need help.

For Mina, taking the case means finally gaining experience. For Sam, it’s the story of a lifetime. And for Alice—Mina is convinced—it’s the chance to finally get better.
