"The sinister and the supernatural collide in this absorbing thriller featuring Slayton detective, DC Sarah Noble."
Dark, eerie, and gruesomely creepy, the second instalment of the Sarah Noble series doesn’t disappoint! Only a matter of months after the Midnight Man murders shake the town of Slayton, seven-year-old Elliot hears the whispers of two missing children in his sleep. Family-man, Gerard, wakes from a black-out to discover his washing machine laced with blood. And two unlikely residents meet a ghastly end. With rumours of 'black-eyed children’ flying around on social media and long-buried secrets bubbling away under the surface, Detective Noble has her work cut out again. There’s an air of something inherently menacing from the earliest pages of The Night Whispers. It’s less about the jump-scare moments, but more of a gradual feeling of unease that cleverly builds, chapter by chapter. As suspicions shift and secrets unravel, you’re never quite sure who to believe…or what’s about to hit you in the face next. Caroline Mitchell is the queen of unnerving and unpredictable! As far as female protagonists go, Sarah Noble may not be the most commanding, but what she lacks in presence, she certainly makes up for in tenacity and judgement – it will be exciting to see how her character develops in future Slayton novels. But for now, just immerse yourself in this unsettling tale; you won’t be able to put it down once you start …and there’s a chance you won’t be able to sleep soundly once it’s finished.
