Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

What if your idyllic life – and the man you love – turned out to be a lie?

From the bestselling, award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea. TJ Klune's Murmuration is a 1950s-set small town romance that twists into a dark psychological thriller. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror.

Every small town has its secrets . . .

In the idyllic town of Amorea, Mike works his dream job at the local bookstore. The staff at the local know his order – especially Sean, the waiter who has a special smile just for Mike. Now, after years of anticipation, Mike and Sean are ready to take the next step in their burgeoning romance.

But the edges of this perfect town are beginning to fray. There are no children or parents in Amorea. No one who has left town for the far mountains has ever come back. One night, Mike wakes up to a storm cloud of uncanny starlings blackening the sky.

And no one but Mike seems to notice.

As Mike loses hold on his identity, violent memories of another life interfere with everything good about Amorea. But Mike will do whatever he can to keep Sean from the darkness that’s coming for him. Nothing here is perfect, but there is someone worth saving.
