About this title

Synopsis

A haunting tale of secrets and redemption set against the backdrop of a Victorian seaside town.

The starlings dance in mesmerizing patterns above a Victorian pier that has stood the test of time. As they fold in and out, up and down, they watch the lives of those who pass beneath: a scandalous comedian, a seemingly ageless deckchair attendant, and a fortune-teller who believes no one can see the future. In this seaside town, one man knows the only way to stop history repeating itself is to solve a mystery as old as the pier.

For readers who enjoy atmospheric historical fiction, Murmuration explores themes of fate, memory, and the cyclical nature of history. Discover the secrets hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic seaside resort.
