The Whispering Room be Amanda Stevens was a surprise. I didn't think i would like it, but i enjoyed it emensely. It starts out as a slow horror story but it doesn't rely on horror alone. It brings in a crime element and phychotic people. Evangeline, a new mom to DJ, is a police detective in New Orleans, who is still grieving her murdered husband Johnny. She's still searching for his killer when she's called to the grisly scene of murdered attorney Paul Churchill. When she and her partner Mitchell interview the widow they discover his brother died the exactly same way- snake bites. Venemous snakes bites. The FBI wants Evangeline off the case fearing she will hinder their investigation into a crime lord, Sonny Betts. FBI Agent Nash reveals her husband was a dirty cop in cahoots with Betts. They show her irrefutable proof. Evangeline is devastated. When DJ is kidnapped from her mother, leaving Lynette for dead (of snake bites). Evangeline rushes off for a shoe down with evil. This was a great book that sucked you in right from the start. I really felt sorry for Evangeline, she had been going through some rough stuff. She seemed sort of disconnected to her life, like she hadn't really dealt with her grief over Johnny and wasn't sure what to do about JD. That all changed over a seemingly random call to a crime scene.While investigating this crime she learned more than she ever wanted to about her husband, her family, and the secrets that families have. It seemed like as each secret was revealed her foundation was rocked just a little more.In the end Evangeline had to face up to these secrets and come out of her grief haze to save all that was important to her and in doing so it looks like she will be able to move on with her life and accept all that it has to offer.
What do You think about De Fluisterkamer (2011)?
I really liked this novel. The characters were a bit shallow but a good read.
