Moss Piglet - Doyle, Adrian

. .

Résumé :
A beautifully paced supernatural thriller for our times in which a malignant spirit returns from the dead seeking immortality. A young lady is in mortal danger, but events are not what they seem. 700 years ago, Margar sought immortality and kept herself young by draining the life force of children. Caught, she was killed and buried, her spirit imprisoned for eternity. In the present day, her spirit is accidentally released. Weak from centuries of internment, she seeks to recover her powers at the same time searching for a new body to inhabit. Her presence causes sickness and tension in the lives of Mark and Eva, newly weds. Yet, all is not as it seems. Mark is behaving strangely, Eva is unwell, what is going on? Where is Margar? And what is she up to? Worried by Eva's decline in health, Eva's friend Ruth persuades Brendan Murphy, a reluctant ghost hunter to take a look. He finds Margar but also finds himself in a difficult situation, surrounded by disbelief, antagonism and unwanted desires. Can he break through it all, can he work out what is really going on and can he save Eva?

In 2013, his wife and he bought their first small holding and started keeping sheep and chickens as well as growing their own fruit and vegetables.Adrian has learned much about smallholding life and has developed a range of skills such as building, plumbing, forestry, repairing dry stone walls, landscaping, lambing and handling livestock generally. Having at one time or another kept cows and pigs as well, they have simplified their life by focusing on sheep. These days, they keep a pedigree heard of coloured ryelands and live in the hills of SW Scotland.More recently, Adrian phased out the IT side of his life to give him more time to focus on his writing. His first two books are non-fiction and are based on his experiences as a smallholder and dog behaviouralist. His third book, Moss Piglet, is fiction and is based on his experiences as both a clinical hypnotherapist and spirit release therapist. This was published in May 2022. The main character, Brendan Murphy, is a reluctant therapist himself and finds himself dragged into a haunted house scenario. Moss Piglet is the first in the Brendan Murphy series.
