The prologue starts in 1999 as you read the awful events witnessed by Isla. The author creates suspense that is absolutely terrifying. Then your left on such a cliff hanger so you move forward to the present day. I adore openers like this. Although a few initial errors in the copy I had to read it was easy to ignore as I felt connected emotionally. I struggle with my relationship with my father so I was so understanding of Isla. The author is great at throwing in elements of mystery and introducing you to other characters that come together.
I had to know and understand what was meant by the curse of the frosts. There was so much given to me. The way the author switches from one situation to the next confused me initially. However it didn’t remain with confusion as the layers came together with a quick pace. I did enjoy how the author makes the surroundings feel so eerie and creepy and I couldn’t imagine being in the places Isla finds herself.
This book is great, there’s a lot of really bad characters that you don’t expect to be bad but when you know you know. Although I did struggle with the copy of the book the plot is phenomenal. You really get to create your own thoughts and perspective on every individual character. From the moment the book began I had really dodgy feelings about Miranda and Louise. But were my feelings correct or did the author do this deliberately to throw me off course? You’ll have to read it to find out.
You’ll be completely thrown with the events that shape this, your mind will spiral, you’ll feel all sorts of emotions. This would definitely be 5 stars for me if I could completely over look the errors in the copy I received. I know these won’t be on the main complete edit in the book it just threw me off slightly. So I apologise to the author.

How would you feel if your mother had simply cleared off and left you when you were a small child? And then you never heard from her again. This is what happened to Isla 22 years ago but something doesn’t sit quite right. A vague memory comes to her from time to time, but so deeply buried that she can’t quite reach it.
Then a dead body is uncovered, buried by rocks where the old underpass used to be. But judging by the state of the corpse and the date the underpass was filled in, this is an old murder, if that’s what it is, perhaps from around the time that Isla’s mother Kathryn disappeared. Could it be her? And if so did Isla’s now terminally ill father Daniel kill her? He’s a cold, unemotional man, but would murder be a step too far?
The body was found by Louise Fisher, an elderly woman who came to the village of Bluebell to look after her ageing parents until they both died. Before that she was being cared for in a mental health facility – a sufferer from schizophrenia. Now she lives alone in her parents’ house with only her pet rats for company. I love pet rats – I don’t know why so many people don’t like them. They are friendly, intuitive and highly intelligent though they do wee a lot, often on your hand when you pick them up. Louise spent months removing the stones and dumping them in the loch, as if she knew there was a body underneath. There are secrets surrounding the body, secrets that Louise knows and will only reveal to Isla.
This is a book of secrets and lies. But who knows the truth and who is keeping things from Isla? And what is it that Isla can’t remember about the events of 22 years ago? Whispers will have you turning the pages again and again, discovering more truths and untruths, until all is finally revealed.

Isla Frost has returned after ten years away to the village of Arrochar and the neglected creepy manor house that she grew up in. Her father is dying and despite the rift between them she feels she has a duty to be there. Her only friends there now are her Aunt Miranda who has being taking care of her father Daniel, and Beth who runs the village shop, also now happily married to DI Murdo Warren. Isla’s mother Kathryn left when Isla was young. What actually happened that night? She wishes she could remember and her mother has never been seen since. Louise Fisher also returned from psychiatric care five years ago to the home of her parents. She hears many voices in her head telling her she must keep a promise and reveal a secret to Isla to keep her safe. What is it she feels compelled to avenge? She has been clearing the old underpass which links Loch Long to the Frost land. It had been filled with rocks by Daniel to prevent trespassers coming onto his estate over twenty years ago. Meanwhile vet Adrian is faking burglaries at his surgery and selling the drugs to pay someone off. What is his terrible secret? The story proceeds slowly and steadily, setting the scene and introducing the characters, and then ramps up when a shocking discovery is made by Louise and witnessed by Isla. A decomposing body is found under the rocks. So did Louise know it was there, how did they die and most importantly who is it? These are all questions for Murdo and his team as his investigation proceeds, unearthing many secrets people wanted kept buried. And they need to answer them before anyone else dies.
I really liked the character of Murdo, in fact all the characters were well drawn and easy to get to understand quickly, and that of Louise was very sensitively portrayed. The slower start soon moved into a fast and exciting finish, and the whole story, with its many twists and poignant shocking surprises, was very easy to read and become totally absorbed in. 5*

A cracking prologue tells of a young girl Isla Frost being hidden by her mother and straightaway I was hooked. A well written tale of hidden secrets, dysfunctional families and with more than a hint of ghostly happenings. This is a good read but hard to pigeonhole into a genre, think police procedural, suspense thriller and ghost story all rolled into one.
Briefly, when Isla left home 10 years ago she didn’t expect to see the Manor again. However, her father is seriously ill and she’s returned to help care for him, alongside her Aunt. When a body is found in an underpass, that her father arranged to have closed off with rocks year’s earlier, Isla is worried the body might be her missing mother, who she always believed had run away leaving her with her indifferent and cold father. As the investigations continue smalltown gossip soon spreads and long hidden secrets are revealed and Isla’s memory of events in her childhood start to return.
This is one of those stories where you really don’t know who to trust, who has been misunderstood, who is truly evil… twists and turns and red herrings are the order of the day and there is a nail biting conclusion. Fast paced and a fabulous read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well this is a cracker of a story.
It starts off with a chaotic situation in which a young girl is being hidden by her mother and she doesn't know what's going on.
When the girl, Isla, grows up, she is called back home as her father is dying. She is having trouble in her personal life, she has a great job but other things aren't going so well. She assumed her mother upped and left she she was a child, and has never forgiven her.
Shortly after she arrives a body is uncovered and the housemaid of the sick father is fired.
As the story progresses all the towns secrets start becoming uncovered and more lives are destroyed.
There are twists and turns all over the place.
The father is made out to be a grumpy guy with a temper who has a bad history with his daughter but straight away you begin to wonder how true that is when he is so pleased to see her.
The sister is a right cow, she seems to care for her niece but despite being her brothers sole carer doesn't really seem to actually like him that much.
It's a small town and investigation is more limited than it would be in a big city but there are a great bunch of detectives.
The pace is fast from the get go but really picks up as it comes to a brilliant conclusion. I loved the exploration of various relationships, family, friends, the way mental health issues are dealt with and the way small towns differ as everyone knows everyone.
I was blown away by this, the editing style is descriptive and evocative, not excessively but does place you within the small Scottish streets in the bitter winter.

When Isla fled from home 10 years ago, she never saw herself coming back.
Now her father is dying, Isla feels a sense of duty but also wants to know what happened to her mother when she was a child.
Within days of being home, a body is found on Isla’s father’s land and Murdo has to investigate with his team. Who could have been buried here so long ago?
From the prologue, I was gripped. I found this to be quite a creepy and haunting story, not just a typical crime book. I liked the characters and had a real soft spot for Louise and found it quite difficult to like Isla’s dad. The author weaves a tale that has you hooked and wanting more.

What an amazingly twisty, murder mystery. I know that rhymes but I cannot think of a better way to describe this plot based around a decrepit, should be haunted, manor house, brilliantly described and perfect for a Hitchcock horror film. And the characters!! Where to begin? They all have their back stories and secrets, even Isla, who has never really recovered from being abandoned at an early age by her mother and left in the hands of her seemingly cold, unfeeling father, Daniel and his rather strange sister, Miranda. Or was she? Could the body in the culvert be her mother? Whoever the body belongs to someone local has to be involved. And so begins the unraveling of lives and their carefully kept secrets. Billy McLaughlin does great character descriptions and his handling of mental illness and the affect this can have on a person and the way they are treated is genius.
At no point is it obvious who the killer is and why, which is what kept me on the edge of my seat until the dramatic, tense and scary climax.

Isla Frost returns to her childhood home when she hears that her father is dying. She has never forgiven him for her mother leaving and now the past is catching up with them both. A body is found on the estate, discovered by a schizophrenic villager. What other secrets will be revealed...?
Whispers is a wonderful mixture of spooky tale and police murder mystery.
Isla's childhood memories are tainted by the night her mother disappeared, possibly running away with a man from the village. Now she has returned to find her dad just as harsh and emotionally distant as before. Her aunt is desperate to protect them both but acts as abrasively as her brother. The repressed emotion vibrates from their interactions and I waited with tredipation for an explosive revelation.
There are secrets galore amongst the villagers and I loved the interconnected stories. The past haunts most of the characters and there is also a significantly spooky feel to the book. The police element of the book is also strong, with interrogation and procedural features.
I found myself swept up in the story, wanting to find out the various truths that are being hidden and uncover the facts about the murder. In my opinion, the whispers in the title refer to the whispers of the past: half remembered things in Isla's case and people's voices in her dreams and the thoughts of her schizophrenic neighbour. Ghosts speaking metaphorically or literally...?
Whispers is a very enjoyable book that skilfully combines a haunted atmosphere with a police investigation.

The synopsis captured my attention straight away – the idea of returning to the family manor after 10 years shows there’s already a complicated dynamic, throw in a dead body and hunt for the killer and it makes for an incredible read.
It’s well written, the story pulls you along and you can’t help but keep turning the pages to see where the mystery takes you. I was hooked from the prologue!
The contrast of the idyllic, quiet village setting against the sinister goings on and haunting quality of the characters’ lives sets the scene well. The story is told from multiple points of view which enables the reader to glimpse little bits of information and feelings from each person. There’s an interesting mix of characters who are all flawed in some way. The reader knows that secrets are being kept which builds up the suspense and intrigue. As you move through the chapters you can see that everyones’ story is interconnected and cleverly woven together.
Isla’s dealing with connecting with her past while avoiding something in her present. She can’t remember a lot from her past, and what she does recall is not good. Being back home she starts having flashbacks and is trying to piece these together. The dead body makes her question those closest to her and makes her think about the disappearance of her Mother when she was a child.
I really warmed to Daniel but had mixed feelings at the start. No one in the village has a favourable opinion of him, but we are privy to his thoughts and can see how much he loves and cares about Isla. Is he just misunderstood or hiding something?
I enjoyed Murdo heading up the police investigation – there’s not much to go on and you see how difficult a task it is. You feel a bit like a detective trying to piece together the information we find along the way.
The story also explores the power of a ‘whisper’ in our mind from an absent person or past experience and the effect it can have on our present. I found this a thought provoking notion and enjoyed seeing this in play in the novel.
The author creates a fascinating web connecting the characters in ways I couldn’t even imagine! We have to think about who’s account we are seeing – prejudice can distort the perception of things – and the reader is seeing everything through the eyes of one of the characters. As the story unfolds you realise nothing is as it seems.
I could not read the last few chapters fast enough, there were twists and turns around every corner – the tension was palpable. It had me gasping out loud in places as I did not foresee any of the revelations! As the saying goes, the truth will out!
Overall, it’s an intriguing, suspenseful and atmospheric read which is beautifully written. The threads of each character’s story pull together to give an intense and shocking ending making it a must-read.
Huge thanks to Zoé at Zooloo’s Book Tours for a place on the Blog Tour, and the opportunity to read and review this book.

WOW... just wow! The prologue is one of the most grippingly terrifying I have ever read, and Billy McLaughlin never lets up with the tension. Just as you think the twisted plot is about to unravel, he throws another ingredient into the mix. If you enjoy suspense, Whispers is a must-buy.

I have to say, it’s not often a thriller makes me tear up at the end. I adored this book. As a close friend of the author, I know how much work has gone in to this book. This is the second book I’ve read of Billy’s and he does not disappoint.
I thought the character development throughout the book was fantastic, you could see the characters were growing alongside the book. I didn’t even put my finger on the culprit and was very shocked at the end.
Isla and her father have quite a tense relationship, she has returned to the Manor House to see her estranged, ill dad… then the drama begins and my goodness, Billy is great at keeping the reader hooked, gripped and guessing until the end.
The ending nearly broke me, I was shocked, I was crying and I was cheering all at the same time. Isla father ended up being the hero (for me) and I honestly wanted him to be real so I could hug him.
@billy.mclaughlin what a tremendous book, you should be over the moon with this book. A huge thank you to @zooloosbooktour for arranging this fabulous tour, you have done a magnificent job as always.

Billy McLaughlin uses rich characterization and intricate plotting to weave an entrancing murder mystery. The deeper we go into the story tunnel, the more possible outcomes we uncover. I was especially drawn in by the main character, Isla and her difficult past. The deepening plot kept me turning pages.
