The Whispers: A Novel

Written by Heidi Perks

Narrated by Karen Cass, Nneka Okoye and Helen Keeley

A woman embarks on a desperate search for her missing best friend and uncovers a twisted web of lies in this “razor-sharp and impossible to put down” (Daily Mail, London) thriller from the internationally bestselling author of Her One Mistake.

Anna loves Girls’ Night with her friends. With the kids safely in bed, it’s a chance for the women to let loose, enjoy some wine, and just laugh. But after one lively evening, Anna doesn’t arrive for school drop-off the next morning—or the next, or the next.

Everyone, especially her husband and young son, is frantic with worry, but none more so than Grace, her childhood best friend. Grace is certain that someone is hiding the truth about Anna’s unexplained disappearance. As rumors fly and accusations are whispered among neighbors, Grace decides to take matters into her own hands and find out what happened to Anna…or die trying, in this “original, clever, and gripping thriller about toxic female friendships with a killer twist” (Claire Douglas, author of Just Like the Other Girls).

This book started out good but I wasn’t crazy about the whole storyline.

[Paula Michelle · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Easy to listen too nothing all that fantastic about the story.

[Jill Kirby · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

What a waste of time. The book has no real plot and moves incredibly S-L-O-W.

[Meghan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Audio reading was great. The story itself, I was a little disappointed with the ending. Thought it was going somewhere else, the excitement and grip was not there for me. It always kept my attention but seemed to take too long to get to the ending that it was. I wished there was more juice! Still enjoyed!

[Kim Marsh · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I thought it was very good. I didn't really see that ending coming .. and was like Ahh!!! OK!! This was the first of this author that I have listened to, but I will definitely go find another book by her :)
