The characters aren’t very likeable and I don’t usually enjoy books with this many asshole characters but it works here because the story, plot and writing are so engaging you can’t stop reading until you find out what happens next. There are really difficult topics dealt with in the book and Audrain doesn’t pull any punches writing about them. and the intuitions that we silence, The Whispers is a chilling novel that marks Audrain as a major womens fiction talent. There are a lot of secrets between the residents of Harlow Lane and what are they willing to do to keep them? I liked the way the book delves into the backstories of the characters and how unique the plot itself is. It helps that the writing is captivating, it pulled me into the drama of the neighbourhood. This is the proper way to do a slow burn psychological literary fiction that is very character driven. I loved The Push by this author when I read it in 2020 and The Whispers has that same feel. She’d once heard them described as the whispers– the moments that are trying to tell you something isn’t right here. But more than any proof she has, is a feeling.
