Books like Something in the Walls by Daisy Pearce
Mina Pearce is a newly minted child psychologist with limited practical experience. Amid a relentless British heatwave and the anxiety of an impending marriage to her meticulous researcher fiancé Oscar, she seeks brief respite in a local bereavement group, where she mourns her brother’s death. A chance encounter with journalist Sam Hunter presents a proposal: Mina would investigate the claim of a witch haunting 13‑year‑old Alice Webber in the isolated village of Banathel. Accepting the job offers Mina valuable field experience and needed funds, while Sam hopes for a sensational story and Alice hopes for relief. Yet, as Mina delves into the case, Alice’s symptoms grow more intense and inexplicable. The village’s long‑standing superstitions and practices around witchcraft complicate the situation, leading Mina to confront the limits of her training and the community’s deep‑rooted beliefs.
