Whisper Cottage

A mysterious figure. A whispering community. A deadly secret... When Stina and Jack move to an old rural cottage, they're hoping for a fresh start. Their new home is run-down compared to their neighbour's, but generous Mrs. Barley quickly becomes a friend. Until Stina sees a mysterious figure in the widow's garden, and her happy new life begins to unravel. And when she hears strange noises in the night, she is forced to question if Mrs. Barley is what she seems. Why do the other villagers whisper about her? Why is she so eager to help the couple? And what is she hiding in her picture-perfect home? A haunting, twisty story about the power of secrets and rumours, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware's ‘The Turn of the Key’ and Lucy Atkins's ‘Magpie Lane’.
