Synopsis

Since graduating from Whisperwood School for Boys, William has found a sense of normalcy in his life with James. He has a steady (albeit secret) relationship, a home, and a job—even if it doesn't pay the greatest. Nevermind that he lacks James's reckless bravery when it comes to dealing with spirits; he does his best and it hasn't killed him thus far.

When a new client calls on their expertise in solving a grisly multiple homicide, William resists. They're spirit hunters, not detectives. But the money is too much to pass up when they don't know when their next meal will be, and soon they're arriving at Evenbury Manor, nestled in a close-knit rural community, ready to investigate.

They're in over their heads, but in very different ways than William could have anticipated. The hills are filled with creatures far more dangerous than any they've ever encountered, and their usual tactics aren't working. On top of his renewed struggles with his addiction, William is left to fend for himself against the dead to protect not only the community, but the person in the world that's most important to him.

Goodreads review by Cat the bookworm (semi hiatus ish) on April 12, 2024

Not quite as scary as book 1, but still a very well written ghost/horror(ish) mystery. Remember James and William from book 1? Set around the end of the 19th century, two young men attending Whisperwood, solving the ghostly murder mysteries, and falling in love with each other at a time where homosex......more

Goodreads review by Kaje on January 14, 2019

In this second historical-paranormal-mystery, James and William have graduated and found themselves a good situation - they're living together in a house far enough out of town to allow their secret relationship, and working for a psychic whose clients will pay for their ghost-hunting talents. Their......more

Goodreads review by Britt on December 14, 2020

I think there’s a common misconception about books in that if you take a long time to finish them, that must mean you don’t like them. That may be true for some stories, but it absolutely was *not* the case for A Hymm in the Silence. I apologize for taking forever in getting this review out, but I lo......more
