The Whispers is a gripping thriller that delves into the dark and toxic world of female friendships. Written by Heidi Perks, the novel reads like a Liane Moriarty masterpiece at her best.

The story revolves around Grace, whose best friend Anna suddenly goes missing. Grace knows that Anna would never leave her husband and son by choice, which leaves her feeling utterly helpless and worried. As Grace searches desperately for answers, she discovers that everyone seems to have a different version of the truth. Why won't Anna's husband call the police?
