Description
Alice Hoffman meets Riley Sager's Middle of the Night in The Whisper, a speculative thriller following a group of friends who must return to the small mountain town where they grew up to confront the past and use their power to find justice for their dead friend...
Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman and Riley Sager's Middle of the Night, comes a sweeping, atmospheric thriller following a group of friends and the power given to them by the trees...
Rule 1: When the trees whisper, listen.
Rule 2: Don't go into the woods alone.
In the small mountain town of Whisper Ridge, the girls were inseparable. Joey, Quinn, Sophie, and Elena. Together, they channelled magic in the woods, living by six simple rules. The first being: when the trees whisper, listen.
But all rules are forgotten, all bonds broken, when Quinn is found dead in the trees.
In the aftermath, the friends scattered. All except Joey, who still can't move on. Until now, over a decade later, she again hears the trees whisper.
Those woods remember some of Quinn's last words, and for the first time, Joey realises she may learn the truth of what happened to her best friend. And so, the friends return to Whisper Ridge, to the woods that once held their magic and their secrets. But unearthing the truth about Quinn puts them all in danger, and in order to survive they'll need to channel their power for the first time in fifteen years to finally put the past to rest.
