A brilliant , twisty read 5 stars

This was a phenomenal domestic thriller that kept me literally entranced. The character depiction was on point and the story was fascinating and well developed.

Little Whispers by K.L. Slater is a bit of a slow burn in comparison to the author's previous novels, but it delivers in spades by the end. This is another gripping read from an author who just does not disappoint.

Janey Markham arrives at Buckingham Crescent with her husband, Isaac, and son, Rowan, with an optimistic view that things are finally turning a corner. Isaac has secured a job which will allow the family to live in the toney new neighbourhood, and Janey will be able to indulge in a life that is not dictated by a lack of funds, allowing the Markhams to finally enjoy some of the finer things in life. But Janey has arrived at the new address carrying the burden of a terrible secret, one that could destroy everything if it is discovered within the insular fold of her posh new friends.

This is an engaging read that had me desperate to unravel the secrets and lies that permeate and inform the narrative. As per usual, Ms Slater holds the reader rapt with the promise of a reveal so explosive that you are completely under her masterful spell, and loving every minute of the journey.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

Wow wow wow grab this book.So well written so tense.Inpicked it up to read a few pages and wound up reading late into the night.An author I will be recommending and looking forward to their new and older books,#littlewhispers#netgalley.

Before Janey's mum died, she unburdened herself of a terrible family secret, leaving Janey to carry it.
So when a few months later, Janey's husband gets a new job and their family move to a beautiful new house on Buckingham Crescent, she is excited for a fresh start.
Janey quickly befriends a few local mothers, even though these wealthy women are a few rungs further up the social ladder, and soon she finds herself sharing her secret with one of them without realising what a big mistake it was.

The story, told by Janey, is interspersed with a mysterious girl's account of her kidnapping and subsequent captivity.
This was one of those books that had me conflicted about the rating. It was a slow-burning story that kept my attention only with the promise of revealing the mysterious secret. However, about halfway through some more twists were thrown into the mix, and I was actually racing through the rest of the book to find out what would happen.
The ending was so twisty that I was left open-mouthed.
In conclusion, as the first half of the book deserved 3 stars while the second was worthy of 4 stars, I was hesitating about the rating.
Normally, for a book to get above 3 stars, it needs to have me on the edge of my seat right from the start, but I decided that in this case the revelations warranted the higher rating and I settled on 4 stars.
It was my second book by K.L Slater, and she is definitely an author I'm happy to reach for again.

Very good book and list proves the old saying be mindful who you share things with. You can not always trust your best friend

When Janey's husband gets a new job and they are able to move to a nicer, bigger home on the beautiful Buckingham Crescent, she is delighted and hopes that this could be the start of a brighter future for them and their son. At first Janey doesn't know if she will fit in with the other local and very posh mothers, however she quickly strikes up a friendship with a small group of the most elite group of women in the area. Life is going well until, during a weak moment after drinking too much, Janey tells her new friend Tanya her deepest darkest secret. Then, when she sees Tanya's daughter Angel possibly being part of a crime, she knows she has to let the police know what she saw, but could this mean that her secret gets out...?

I'm a huge fan of K. L. Slater's books and this latest book did not disappoint. There is so much more to the story than I've written above but I don't want to spoil anything. The plot is fantastic with twists and turns, and I loved how it ended. The characters are well developed and interesting, and I couldn't stop reading the book to see what happened next. I can't recommend this book enough! Another brilliant thriller from K. L. Slater.

Thanks so much to the publisher, author and NetGalley for an advance copy of the book in return for my honest review.
