About the book

_______________________

'Reads like Liane Moriarty at her Big Little Lies best' TONY PARSONS
'A gripping thriller about toxic female friendships with a killer twist' CLAIRE DOUGLAS
'Kept me up late into the night' LUCY CLARKE
_______________________

Grace's best friend Anna is missing.

She would never leave her husband and son by choice and Grace is beside herself with worry.

As Grace searches desperately for answers, everyone seems to have a different version of the truth.

Why won't Anna's husband call the police?

What secrets are the other mothers at the school gate hiding?

With each day that passes, Anna's life is under increasing threat.

The pressure is mounting and it won't be long before something cracks...

'The story of Anna and Grace's friendship and Anna's disappearance is compelling in its own right, but the real triumph emerges from Perks's skill as seeing some women for exactly who they are and what they are capable of' DAILY MAIL

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.
