“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. Domestic Thriller Frauenliteratur Psychothriller Thriller

...kommt aber nicht an ihr Erstwerk heran, weil... irgendwie schon mal da gewesen. 3, 75 Sterne aufgerundet. Zunächst auch ein wenig überbevölkert für ein Hörbuch. Was wieder ein Thema war und toll umgesetzt wurde: Mutter sein dürfen/können/müssen. Spannend und unterhaltsam und-hervoragend gelesen!

Recht gut

10% plot - 90% musings on motherhood. Very similar in tone to (but not nearly as gripping as) the author's debut novel, "The Push". It's billed as a 'thriller', but there's nothing thrilling about it: very little mystery and no suspense at all.

The book's not badly written and expertly narrated, but the thin storyline didn't keep my interest for long. I guess I just don't have enough sympathy for (or patience with) women who are desperate to become a mother, women who wish they could be a different kind of mother, women who regret becoming a mother... That's literally ALL they ever think about: Ten hours of relentless self-pitying.

Thanks, but no thanks.
