Customer Reviews

A one-of-a-kind narrative experience.

Award-winning author Laura Mullen presents Murmur, a murder-mystery told in a blend of prose and poetry, featuring a refractive perspective on space-time - amid the medley of infinite cosmic possibilities, the tale is told in such a manner that at one time or another everyone has committed the murder and everyone has been the victim. Merging the mystery, poetry, film noir, and fictional memoir genres, Murmur captivates the reader with its nuances of fallible human detail. "There's a woman lying naked on the blood-stained sand, in her abdomen the exact wound so vividly described as given to her ex-husband, metaphorically of course, by her request for money - specifically, for child support. 'She's sticking a knife in my gut,' he said, backing up and holding clenched fists to his stomach, 'and twisting it.'" A one-of-a-kind narrative experience.
