About the book

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).

    Unexpected twists that kept me reading, but not the best writing. I was quite annoyed with one of the main characters mainly because it didn't feel natural the way she talked. Difficult to explain what set me off, but without the perspective changes and the twists, I wouldn't have finished the book

    After a night out with her friends and way to many shots, Anna vanishes and leaves her husband, son and four bestfriends behind. Everybody is worried, but only her eldest friend Grace seems to be really searching for her and asking questions. Whom can you trust? Heidi Perks latest domestic psychological thriller is highly captivating and beautifully written as usual. It may not be as fast-paced as her other thrillers, but that’s okay, because this way you feel the tension increasing to a point where you just can’t endure any longer. If you enjoy reading thrillers about toxic friendships, jealousy and possessiveness you shouldn’t miss „The Whispers“ out. Thank you NetGalley / Random House UK Cornerstone for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.
