“Expertly, subtly and powerfully rendered. . . . [The Whispers] delivers a sucker-punch ending you’ll have to read twice to believe.”—The New York Times Book Review

“[An] electrifying . . . razor-sharp page-turner.” —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

On Harlow Street, the well-to-do neighbor­hood couples and their children gather for a barbecue as the summer winds down. Everything is fabulous until Whitney, the picture-perfect hostess, explodes in fury because her son disobeys her. Everyone at the party hears her exquisite veneer crack—loud and clear. Before long, that same young boy falls from his bedside window in the middle of the night. And then his mother can only sit by her son’s hospital bed, where his life hangs in the balance.

Over the course of a tense three days, the women of the neighborhood grapple with what led to that terrible night. People-pleasing Blair, Whitney’s best friend, suspects something isn’t as it seems. Rebecca, the ER doctor who helps treat Whit­ney’s son, has struggled to have a child of her own. And the all-knowing Mara, the older woman next door, watches everyone’s world unravel from her front porch.

Exploring envy, women’s friendships, desire, and the intuitions that we silence, The Whispers is a chilling novel that marks Ashley Audrain as a major fiction talent.

The characters showcased the difference lives of motherhood but I felt disappointment with the abrupt end that left so many storylines open.

Suspenseful but end left me disappointed.

I could not stop listening to this book. It was so wonderful listening to the stories of all these very different women’s lives and how they all became intertwined in this story. Was little disappointed with the ending. Wanted the story to continue.

Wonderful story

Story was ok, a bit drawn out in my opinion. It’s giving Big Little Lies kinda vibe. Unfortunately for me the narrator was really hard to get into. Her cadence, rhythm etc was a little too sing song. At times it was high with dramatic intonation that i found cheesy. But people seem to like Jill, just a preference!

Meh story

I loved “The Push” and this follow up didn’t disappoint at all. Can’t wait to see ALL of Ashley’s future offerings!!

Another winner!!

The ending felt rushed, with many story lines left unfinished. I did think the last line if the book was fantastic though!!
