We all know Slater writes brilliant thrillers. Every time I read one of her books I think wow she did it again.
The story starts out giving you some background of the main characters but the plot starts to build. As you progress you are cataloging all these details trying to figure out what is going to happen. Then, bam, the plot twist hits and it’s just brilliant! When you see all of the little details line up and fall into place you realize that Slater can do no wrong!

Definitely a fan of K.L Slater! This book kept me wanting more and also reminded me of desperate house wife's. I enjoyed this one and I think anyone who wants a little drama reading will too.

Can we talk about #klslater for a moment? Her soon to be released #littlewhispers (thank you @netgalley), is a wild ride that I could NOT out down. #Netgalley #netgalleyreview I picked up this juicy book last night and couldn't even put it down until I finished. I was lost in a world full of #friends #husbandsandwives and .... Secrets. I had no idea where the author or the characters were taking me on this ride. This one is definitely 5/5⭐ you will get lost in a book with a death, a move, a mother, husband, child, secrets..... Want to forget about #covid_19 and being #quarantined2020 ? Then get yourself a copy as soon as it's released 🙌#booksofinstagram #bookreview #bookreader #bookstagram

Super book with a very dark underlying story. I was seduced into the wonderful new life of the main character and bam something came along out of the blue. Was looking forward to reading it every night which is such a wonderful feeling.

Highly recommend this book a bit big little lies mixed with a perfect chilling story. Thanks for sharing

K L Slater is an amazing author and this one doesn’t disappoint either. The twists and turns make you feel like you are on a never ending country road. I recommend starting this one first thing in the morning as you won’t want to put it down once you start

I really enjoyed Little Whispers. We know from the beginning that Janey is burdened with a heavy secret laid on her by her mother on her death bed. Her husband has landed a supposed dream job that will elevate their little family of three. He promises more money and more time at home with her and their young son. They move into a very upscale neighborhood that seems way too good to be true for Janey, but she decides that maybe it's her own past that's causing her unease. She befriends the group of 'cool moms' and has an instant connection with one in particular. Slater offers curveball after curveball in this story. Things never seem to add up no matter how you try to fit the pieces until the big reveal in the end. I felt the big revel was a little forced (3.5 instead of 4 stars) but the rest of the story made up for it. It was a slow burn, but fast paced at the same time. She kept me guessing and I enjoyed it overall.

Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for making this title available in exchange for my honest review. Little Whispers is not the first book I have read by K.L. Slater, and it definitely won't be the last! This domestic thriller has enough twists and turns to give you whiplash! Don't start this novel at night or you will likely be up until dawn.

Little Whispers opens with the mother of the main character, Janey, revealing the family's devastating secret just before she dies. While this reveal may have eased the conscience of Janey's mother, it burdens Janey with the sins of the past. Trying to find her way in the world again after being her mother's caregiver, Janey is excited when her husband Issac announces out of the blue that he has received a job offer which will pay him double his salary, allowing the family to move to an exclusive community.

Janey and Issac move with their young son Rowan to Buckingham Crescent a posh neighborhood where secrets abound and no one is quite who they seem to be. After a bit of a rough start fitting in with the rich moms who congregate at the school gate, Janey is soon ensconced in this world and desperate to fit in for the first time in her life.

While Janey is embracing her new lifestyle, her husband Issac is becoming more withdrawn and it becomes apparent that he is hiding a troubling secret of his own. I was absolutely engrossed in the novel and stayed up most of the night to find out which if any of Janey's new friends could be trusted and what Issac was hiding from her. The book did not disappoint!

The reveals are well worth the wait and Janey is a very relatable character. Who amongst us hasn't wanted to be part of something larger than ourselves, to truly belong and be accepted? The author has a coherent theme throughout and readers are left to ponder why society sometimes judges people for sins that they did not commit.

The book offers some definite surprises and took me down some unexpected roads. I appreciate that the author did not rely on typical stereotypes found in domestic thrillers and I was genuinely pleased by the ending. If you are looking for a pulse pounding addictive book to keep you up all night, look no further than Little Whispers.

Janey and Isaac Markham, along with their son Rowan, move to the lower end of a very upscale neighborhood after he secures a new job with better wages. Janey had been caretaker for her mother who had recently passed away. On her deathbed, Janey's mother told her a secret that had a profound affect on Janey. Rowan is enrolled in the top private school and Janey feels a chill from the ritzy, cliquish mums as she drops him off at school. Rowan is snubbed at school also but then all of a sudden he is welcomed by the other kids and naive, uncool Janey is welcomed into the clique. What could go wrong with this scenario??? Lots can and does. Isaac begins to act strangely and his new job does not seem to be all that great. This book was a slow starter but then all of a sudden it took off and I really enjoyed it. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this very twisty, page turner in exchange for an honest review.

Janey is in a peculiar state; her mother’s just died and left her with a terribly dark secret. She and her husband Isaac are in debt... things turn around when Isaac gets a new job with a heft salary, requiring them to quickly relocate to a new, upscale area.

They find and move into the new home right away and Janey soon finds the cliquish community is full of lies, snobs and not at all what it seems.

The first 60% of this book moved a bit slowly for me, sort of like an adult version of Mean Girls, and it was similar to the book, Reputation. A bit gossipy and suspicious. The ending picked up quickly, was interesting, yet it all felt rushed.

All in all, it was pretty interesting and the twists that were later revealed were a bit different and surprising.

I have been following K.L. Slaters books since her first one and Little whispers does not disappoint.
After her Mum dying with a terrible family secret and a marriage riddled with debt Janey Markham gets some good news. Her Husband Isaac and has got himself a new job with more money. So, with the extra money with their son Rowan they decide to move Buckingham Crescent. The crescent is one of the poshest streets in West Bridgford where there is a waiting list for anyone to move into the area. The houses are large mansion like. Far cry from where Janey has lived previously. She is looking forward to the move as it is a fresh start for both, which will give them more time with each other.
But when they move in Isaac’s new job takes him away from the family then previously. So, Janey makes friends with a circle of mothers that she met through Rowan’s new school. Introducing her to a new life, that she has never experienced before. She befriends Tanya one of the mothers whose son Dexter is Rowan’s friend. Confiding her inner family’s secrets to her that she will later regret.
This is another gripping psychological thriller from this author. This is a bit slow to get into a first and you keep wondering what the family secret Janey is hiding. There is a lot of different characters and as the story unfolds you find out what part of what is going on, they have played. There is also an amazing twist at the send I did not see coming. 4 stars from me.

K L Slater has become of one my must-read authors whose books go to the top of my to-read list. I adore the way she writes in a conversational way that we can all follow with characters we can grow to love or hate. This is a complex story with various storylines converging in the end to a shocking and unexpected unique finale. Can’t wait for the next one!

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this amazing book

ohhh where to start....

a clique of friends, a group you want to be accepted by, this can happen at any stage of your life

and this is that story of a young family just moving up in the world, a new start, a new job, a new house and a new school for their son, so why has nothing changed...why is isaac still out working all the hours when the promise was more time spent with the family...

there are two storylines, one very much in the background that you get hints at and the other is how you try to fit in with your new neighbours and area and how their lives impact in yours so much that you start to take on their characteristic that you found unfriendly at the time...

brilliantly written and couldnt see where it was going until the big reveal at the end and boy was it a biggy...

i am loving this author

K.L. Slater has another hit with her latest, Little Whispers. A tense and thoroughly enjoyable twisted psychological thriller! Set in an affluent neighborhood where everyone has secrets and if you trust the wrong person, it could mean you lose everything and everyone. There are many levels and layers which will keep you up very late!

What a psychological thriller! The twists and turns throughout the book made it difficult to put down. I needed to read just one more page, then just one more page to try and figure out the next plot twist. I will definitely recommend to my reader friends.

This is something of a slow burner that gradually pulls you in until you don’t want to put it down. Janey is struggling to cope with not just the death of her mother but the mind blowing secret her mum revealed to her right before her death. When her husband gets an incredible new job offer she sees the opportunity to ditch the debt they were struggling with and have a fresh start as it involves relocating.

I really enjoyed seeing Janey build relationship up with her cliquey new neighbours, especially Tanya who takes her under her wing. It’s easy to see how Janey wants to rebel from her mothers conservative ways and why she would be flattered to be part of a friendship group, especially one as glamorous as this. I was really eager to learn Janey’s secret and it was frustrating having to wait until near the end however the other twists and turns were even more monumental.

LITTLE WHISPERS by K. L. Slater is “an unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist”. I agree this book was unputdownable as I was so curious to find out the twist! But I felt the first half of the book was extremely slow moving. I liked the short chapters but wished for maybe less build up to the end.

This is my second K.L. Slater book and I'm obsessed. Little Whispers reminds me of Big Little Lies but more sinister. I had a hard time putting this book down and really loved the ending.

Unfortunately, the book cover doesn't do the book any justice.

I had to really think a lot to come up with the rating for this book: 3.5 stars
Writing style: I have read other books by this author and I like the writing style. It is engaging
Plot: This did not work well for me unfortunately, It did not have the sparks that K.L Slater's other books have had. While the premise is great, there are many inconsistencies and too much repetition. There is a lot of secrets and gossip and such to keep the plot interesting and it does work. Janey's past does not really justify how she behaves!
Editing: Things like the same sentence showing up twice hopefully that will be fixed before the final release. Or the instance where there is a 14 yr old child left behind when a 20yr old mother dies...how???
Characters: I could not get myself to like them or relate to them, but they were well developed.
The end was predictable and honestly it did not have to be so and the middle was slower than it needed to be.
I wish i could rate this higher but I have read better by K.L. Slater and this one misses the mark.

While this book was quite good, it felt a little too slow for my liking. It was written well and I never felt too confused.

Captivating! Janey can not believe her luck, after years of living hand to mouth her husband is offered a new job with a salary twice the size, a new housje in an affluent area at a steal and a new set of friends to boot but at what cost...

Janey has her own buried secret that keeps you hooked from the off. I would have liked a bit more nest on this at the end when it was finally revealed. It caught me off guard but then I felt it didn’t quite get the development it deserved.

A great book overall, thank you @netgalley
