GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

'I really loved it. The Whispers is a big-hearted psychological thriller about the dark corners that lurk in even the closest of friendships. Heidi Perks reads like Liane Moriarty at her Big Little Lies best as she brilliantly mines the jealously, spite and rage that lurk behind the polite smiles at every school gates. Highly recommended' TONY PARSONS

Story was really good and well thought out. A little bit different to the crime thrillers I normally end up reading but it was good. The characters were easy to slip into the minds of.
I feel like some of the narrators were a little robotic at times and sometimes read sentences in tones that turned them into questions when they weren’t meant to be, it made it quite distracting from the the story initially but you do get used it.

Good story, enjoyed it!

The narration was like someone reading the news and the story was quite average. I think it was a wasted credit

A little boring

A good story, kept me in suspense. Found the narrator a little annoying. One was a little robotic sounding and the recording quite tinny and the other a weird thing where she dragged lots of words and went up at the end of the sentence. Think would be better to read the book rather than listen to audio in this case but good!!

Great story line
