The Whistling by Rebecca Netley is an atmospheric and spooky historical thriller, perfect for an evening curled up on a cosy couch with a storm howling outside. The fact that it is a debut novel makes it all the more impressive.
Elspeth Swansome moves to a remote Scottish island to take charge of a young girl Mary, who is struggling following the deaths of several family members, most notably her twin brother William. Her grief has rendered her mute, and her guardian, the remote Miss Gillies, feels like Elspeth may be Mary's last chance before being sent to an institution. The fact that Elspeth has experienced more than her own share of grief helps her to bond with Mary , but that bond may not be strong enough to withstand the strange events that plague the house , from fragments of a lullaby heard in the night, to mysterious binding stones and creepy dolls , not to forget the whistling of the title, supposedly from a Widow's whistle, made from the bones of a dead man. A little digging soon reveals that the house is steeped in tragedy , and unless Elspeth can figure out what is going on , she and Mary may be next.
This really is an atmospheric read that stands on the author's skill with words , the prose throughout the book is highly evocative and vividly brings both settings and characters to life . The gradual building of tension throughout the book draws the reader in, trapping them in a story filled with drama and a sense of impending doom.
A perfect Halloween read.
I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.

Moving to the remote island of Skelthsea, Elspeth Swansome takes on the position of nanny to a young girl, Mary, who hasn’t spoken a word since the tragic death of her twin brother, William. No one will speak of William or what happened to him, but after hearing a strange whistling in the night and the inexplicable appearance of dolls in abandoned rooms, Elspeth begins to wonder if something more sinister is going on.

The Whistling is a classic gothic novel with a very chilling atmosphere which is perfect for autumn/winter reading. Although nothing outright frightening happens, the writing is layered with tension and unease, and the plot is unpredictable enough to be really quite spooky.

Elspeth is a strong protagonist for this kind of story because, thanks to her own tragic past and lack of family, her actions and decision to stay on the island to protect Mary make complete sense. She understands her role well enough not to overstep the mark, but is just headstrong enough to find out what is going on and take a stand. She was a very well-written character because she felt completely believable and realistic (even in a story about the supernatural).

I really enjoyed the menacing atmosphere and ghostly plot of this book. An excellent addition to the genre.

It is 1860. Elsbeth is alone in the world after the death of her sister. In an attempt to escape from Edinburgh & its memories she applies to be nanny to a child on a Scottish island. When she arrives she discovers that Mary is an elective mute, having not said a word since the death of her brother, William. Her aunt is her guardian & is beginning to think that Mary may be better off in an institution. The house is pretty spooky & from the start Greer, one of the housemaids seems to have taken against her. Elsbeth is determined to try & help Mary. Still pining for her sister it is comforting for her to have someone to care for. The more she finds out about William & the abrupt disappearance of her predecessor the more she is sure they hold the key to unlock Mary's silence. However the strange whistling, the mysterious dolls that appear & gossip of her predecessor being a witch make her fear for the safety of of both her & Mary.

This was a wonderful, spooky atmospheric book that made me glad I don't live in a big old house. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

I wanted to like this more than I did. There was nothing wrong with it and it adhered to the tropes of gothic fiction well. There just wasn't anything that caught me by surprise or really wowed me. I loved the setting - a remote Scottish island. and good use of the land and weather was made to create a spooky atmosphere. That last little bit of connection was missing for me, however.



Elspeth, the MC, was plausible and likeable but again, I just didn't really get inside her skin. Part of it, is me. I have read a lot of gothic fiction and ghost stories. Not very much is going to chill me or surprise me, so I really need an intense connection with the characters, the plot or the setting. And for whatever reason, all three of those things were just okay for me here. I can see this is a good book, well written - miles ahead of offerings such as 'the Silent Companions' - but I just wasn't as immersed as I wanted to be.



However, what the Whistling does, it does well. I did like it even if it didn't rock my world. I'm sure other fans of gothic literature will really enjoy it.

I had heard great things about this book but I am afraid I didn’t rate it as high as others have done. I did not find it that scary.

It tells the story of Elspeth who goes to a remote Scottish island to be a nanny to a young girl whose twin had died tragically, shortly after the previous nanny left suddenly. Throw in some ghosts, witchcraft and weird locals you start to wonder who is good who is bad and whether accidents are indeed accidents or not.

As a rule I don’t read ghost stories but the cover & blurb grabbed my attention for this one.

Elspeth Swansome is the new nanny for Mary, on the remote Scottish island of Skelthsea. Mary is grieving the loss of her mother & twin brother; Elspeth is grieving the loss of her sister.
Mary is a troubled child & the house itself seems to have troubles of its own. She is locked in her own world, mute with grief & seemingly devoid of emotion. The house is cold, physically & atmospherically, mirroring the tragedies that have befallen the family.
A true gothic tale which is beautifully written. The words are evocative & I could see myself in the house, feeling every chill & hearing each creaking footstep.
Elspeth is too curious for her own good & not only investigates the household but the islanders as well, some of whom are on her side & others …
A great read for the upcoming spooky season & I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publishers for the arc in return for an honest review.

If you’re looking for a modern gothic to get you in the spooky mood then look no further. The Whistling delivers all of your traditional gothic tropes. A nanny running from her past. An old creepy house that holds secrets of its own. Missing people. Dead bodies. Rumours of dark magic. Creepy dolls and a child who won’t speak a word. And let’s not forget its remote location – completely cut out from the outside world.

With that in mind, I have to admit that it wasn’t as chilling as I would have liked. But I always appreciate a story where the ghosts are actually ghosts.

Elspeth was a really compelling lead character. I loved her strong will and her unwavering devotion to Mary. She sees the best in everyone which is both an admirable trait and a huge disadvantage under the circumstances. And I think that her backstory was handled in a very human way – she carries a lot of guilt and sadness from her past but is very mindful of the fact.

In terms of its suspense, I thought it was very effective. There’s a lot of misdirection. You feel suspicious of absolutely everybody on the island to the point that I was a bit disappointed that some of those suspicions didn’t really go anywhere.

Overall, this is a fun read for gothic literature fans or anyone looking for a chills not thrills this spooky season.

"And then, through the silence, the widow's whistle began to whine and a shape emerged, one that seemed cut out of something blacker than the night itself."

In 1860, alone following the deaths of her family, including beloved sister Clara, Elspeth Swansome takes a post as a nanny on a remote Scottish island, Skelthsea. It's autumn and Skelthsea is small but beautiful. When Elspeth arrives at the largest house in the island, Iskar, it is cold, tired and series. Her mistress, Miss Gillies, badly disfigured by a childhood accident, is quiet and distant. Her charge, nine year old Mary, is grieving the sudden death of twin brother William, and has ceased to talk. Elspeth is shocked but determined to do her job well and help Mary blossom. As autumn turns to winter it becomes apparent that all is not well at Iskar. Elspeth hears strange noises at night, footsteps, a lullaby and a chilling whistle. She discovers a number of tragedies have befallen the house and its occupants. Will she be next?

Centred on Elspeth, Iskar and the landscape and climate of Skelthsea, this is an atmospheric read. How hard life was for women during this period. I became fond of Elspeth, and Mary, as she struggled and as conditions deteriorated along with the supporting characters. Beautifully written, the fear builds as the novel progresses, revealing more of the characters' pasts and ultimately, the cause of the haunting. Perfect for Halloween, this is enthralling, chilling and spooky historic fiction, an impressive debut that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

The Whistling - Rebecca Netley

On arrival on Skelthsea, Elspeth discovers that Mary has not spoken since Williams death and no one will speak of him. Strange things happen at Iskar House and all is not well. There are priests holes, odd strange noises, the maid is menacing and then there is the whistling.

‘𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒅: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒔.’

Something is amiss, something harnessed in the very air of Skelthsea -
rumours abound about William, that he was not a good child, witchcraft rears it’s head, and we are well into creepy spookiness!
I got a creeping prickling sensation reading this like something had got under my skin, I could not put it down and when I had to I couldn’t stop thinking about it and that does not happen very often. It was so atmospheric and ethereal, the sense of isolation is profound.

‘𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅, 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆.’

Slowly the islands begins to give up its secrets, are there ghosts, is there something supernatural happening, what happened to William and Hettie really, is Mary silent as she is involved? So many questions and gradually the answers are revealed.

‘𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆….𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒓.’

I was entranced by this book, it really got it’s hooks into me.
There is something beguiling in the writing, making you believe that there is something other going on. I’m a scientist and that doesn’t happen to me usually!

I was totally caught, I could feel the cold and the fear, it’s so dark and twisting. There is a silent quality to this book, akin to a silent scream -
brilliantly spooky for the autumn

Thanks to #netgalley for my copy of this book

Perfect for a chilly October night, this is a creepy historical thriller that is well worth picking up.

While I don't think the writing is the best I've come across, some of the writing stuck out to me as being especially good "It seemed to me that I was more girl than woman as if, at some point, I had tricked myself into believing in my own adulthood."

I won't give anything away about the plot, so I'll focus on the characterisation. We follow Elspeth, who can at some points come across as overly naïve, but she has great empathy. Some of the other characters, like Miss Gillies, her employer, could do with a little more fleshing out. Netley relies a bit too much on exposition to explain a character, but this was still an atmospheric and enjoyable read. The cast of characters is heavily female, with male characters not given much space at all. Given the themes of sisterhood, witchcraft and female friendship, I think this works well.

I thank NetGalley and Penguin Michael Joseph UK for providing me an ARC copy of this novel, which I freely chose to review. This is the debut novel of the author, and it is likely that we’ll be hearing plenty from her in the future.
This is a Gothic novel, and although it is brand new, lovers of the genre will recognise many/most of the expected tropes and details they’ve come to love over the years: a remote and dark place (the imaginary Scottish Island of Skelthsea, which the author manages to make both, menacing and beautiful); a threatening mansion that becomes a character in its own right; a young lone woman, who has experienced much trauma and loss, arrives to the house and has to confront a less-than-warm welcome and some open animosity; secrets and mysteries everybody insists in keeping from the main protagonist; some eerie and difficult to explain events; some seemingly friendly people who offer to help, and others who seem intent on harming or at least obstructing the protagonist; “strange” children; plenty of alternative versions of what might have happened, some more difficult to believe than others; and a paranormal element to the story (or more than one), in this case related to the island’s ancestral knowledge/traditions (or superstitions?). Many of the reviewers mention some of the novels The Whistling reminded them of, and, for those who like to read both, the classics and more modern takes on the genre, this one fits into quite a well-known subgenre, that of the young woman coming to look after and/or educate the (usually recently orphaned) children of a fairly well-to-do family, who have been left in charge of a relative not up to (or interested in) the task. You’ll probably be able to come up with a few titles that would fit the description —films as well as books— although in my case, to begin with, I kept thinking of Henry James’s A Turn of the Screw, because the tone of menace and the emphasis on the previous nanny reminded me of that story, but... I will try not to reveal any spoilers, because despite the general sense of familiarity one experiences when reading the story, there are quite a few twists and turns, and plenty of red herrings to keep readers guessing.
This a very atmospheric novel, and apart from the actual paranormal element, there are quite a few other topics (some more habitual than others), that play a part in the story. There is grief; trauma; difficult family relationships; sibling rivalry; small communities and how they deal with outsiders; the role of women in society; poor mental health and how it was dealt with in the past; different kinds of love; duty, and feelings of guilt; ancient beliefs, tradition, and rationality; how vulnerable we are to suggestion, especially when we are alone and not on familiar ground... Although the novel stays close to the classic style, and I wouldn’t say it presents a totally novel take on the subject, the focus on the character’s past history and the amount of psychological detail it conveys give it a more modern feel.
It is difficult to talk about the characters without giving away too much of the story, but I will say that the protagonist, Elspeth —who is also the first-person narrator of the story— is a sympathetic character, and one easy to root for. She has lived through some pretty traumatic experiences, and we meet her at a moment when she has lost everybody and everything, and places all her hopes and dreams on this job, on her new charge, Mary, and on a new life away from her sad memories and experiences. As you can imagine, things don’t go to plan, but despite her fear and the threats and warnings she keeps getting, she sticks by the girl and gets to really care for her. What is quite extraordinary as well, in this novel, is how many of the characters share characteristics and are mirror images of each other or, perhaps, they embody different examples of the effects such traumas could have in the development of a person, depending on their previous personalities and circumstances. We have quite a few characters who have lost their parents, at a fairly early age; who have suffered trauma (physical, mental, or even both); who have been abused or have seen loved ones being abused or made a mockery of by members of the community they live in; who have had difficult relationships with siblings and have then lost them (and experience guilt); who have had to deal with a responsibility imposed on them by birth or society; who have nobody they can trust and have to keep quiet (figuratively or otherwise)... This background is shared by characters who (at least on the surface) are “good”, but also by some Elspeth suspects from the very beginning of being evil, which highlights the idea that both, nature and nurture, are equally important when it comes to the upbringing of a person (and this is further brought home by the many siblings who also populate the novel, and who tend to be completely different from each other).
The story is told by Elspeth, from her point of view, and that works very well to place readers in her shoes and make us experience things first-hand. It is also a great way to tell the story and to maintain the mystery, as we, like her, know nothing of the setting, and we discover it with her, slowly and gradually. There is some telling, as Elspeth gets increasingly curious and suspicious about what is going on, and she starts asking questions, but many of the other characters are very reluctant to divulge any but the most basic of information, and we only get to learn some bits of gossip and rumours for much of the novel.
I have mentioned how well the author captures the atmosphere, the way she uses the island, the house, the weather, to play with the protagonist’s subjectivity, and to increase the tension and the suspense of the story. There are vivid descriptions, but they never feel forced or excessive, and there are plenty of events and happenings to keep the action and the story moving. The story has three parts, and some reviewers complained that the novel, especially the first part, is quite slow. Most of them recognised, though, that this is in keeping with the genre of the novel. Personally, I felt it worked well, and the story didn’t drag for me. (People who are not used to the genre or to these kinds of books might feel it is too slow, but I don’t think it would work as well if it was any faster). The story picks up the pace as the warnings, threats, and worrying events pile up, and the clues to the mystery and the red herrings are nicely scattered around the book and will keep readers turning the pages, even if it is at a more leisurely pace than in modern mystery novels. Don’t hesitate to check a sample of the book if you like the sound of it, as you will get a fair idea of what the style of the whole novel is like pretty quickly.
To give you a taster, I couldn’t resist sharing a few passages. Remember, though, that I read an ARC copy, so there might be modifications and small changes in the final version.

I felt then not just the strangeness of the unfamiliar house but something else, a quality to the quietness that seemed unnatural, and experienced the tiniest nibble of some doubt.

Perhaps, I thought, mourning could never be fully emptied.

‘Some souls are made to be dark.’ She studied me with something like pity. ‘The world gives birth to both the viper and the lamb, and there are churches for each.’

The silence was as deep and still as distant galaxies. Every piece of my life came polished to diamond sharpness, fragments hurled at me with the speed of comets: the coiling smoke of Swan House, my mother’s face with death upon it, the warmth of Clara’s hand —no regret: my heart was as flat as paper.

What to say about the ending? It is all solved and all questions answered, and I liked it a lot. Most of the explanations are pretty rational and would fit into a standard mystery novel, but the supernatural also plays a part, as it should in this genre. Did I guess what was really going on? To tell you the truth, I was carried away by the atmosphere and the all engrossing aura of the story, and I didn’t spend as much time as I would in a standard mystery novel thinking about the whos and the whys. I did guess right, though, most of the answers, although not all the details, and many of the detours and red herrings made me change my mind a few times. But, although not a standard mystery, for me that part of the story works well, and the ending is a happy one, given the circumstances.
Would I recommend this novel? Definitely for anybody who loves Gothic mysteries and fiction, particularly those involving a mysterious house, magnetic locations, young women and children. If you favour a quick and fast story, and a modern style of writing, clipped and to the point, this might not be for you, as it is written in the style of the classics. I am not sure I would class it as a horror story (I didn’t feel scared, but I am not easily frightened), and although there are eerie moments, they are mostly psychological in nature (that does not mean there is no real danger involved, and violence makes an appearance, although mostly out of the pages and is not explicit or extreme), anxiety inducing, and suspense and dread are the main emotions. A child dies, and there are plenty of disturbing and disturbed characters and traumatic events, so people looking for a light read, or a cheery story might need to be cautious, although the story ends in an optimistic note. A great example of a new Gothic novel, with a likeable and determined female protagonist, with no romance involved (in the main story), and with mysteries and supernatural happenings taking place in a truly remarkable setting. I will follow the author’s career with interest.

What a fabulous gothic story this is and so beautifully written. It was such an easy book to read and I was so drawn into this spooky and compelling story.

Written so descriptively I felt like I was on the island in a period of tome long ago experiencing everything Elspeth and Mary went through. I could hear the wind howling and the whistling as I read the book like it was happening in the room next to me. Such an absorbing and sad tale

A scary book with lots of tense moments but not one that made me scared to pick it up, rather it kept me up late at night as I was so keen to know what happened. An ending that took me by surprise.

Can’t recommend this more highly and a great October spooky season read!

Following the deaths of her father & younger sister, Elspeth Swansome arrives on the island of Skelthsea to take up a new job. Elspeth is to work as a nanny & her charge is a young girl called Mary, who hasn't spoken since the sudden death of her twin brother, William. The island is a strange place & its inhabitants mostly keep to themselves, but Elspeth learns that the previous nanny, Hettie, disappeared just days before William's death. The longer she spends in her new job, the more Elspeth starts to believe that someone or something is haunting the house & those who live there; from the lullabies sung in corridors with no-one there, to the shadowy figures glimpsed at the windows of empty rooms.

I really liked reading this. So many books I've read before have promised an eerie reading experience & not delivered, but this was genuinely chilling at times. The author is definitely able to convey the strange atmosphere at the house & the remote setting of the island. The setting, the characters, & the story are perfect for reading in the lead up to Halloween, & although I was a little disappointed with the resolution of the story, overall it was an excellent read.

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Penguin Michael Joseph UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

A chilling, creepy gothic novel perfect for this time of year. Perfectly paced and beautifully written.

Set in the 1860's on the remote Scottish Island of Skelthsea ,The Whistling is everything you would want in a creepy ghost story ,a possibly haunted house, very strange going ons and witchcraft. This story was so atmospheric I could almost feel the cold and wind and the desolation .This is a very compelling story ,sometimes scary ,hold your breath moments and finally a really twisty ending which came as a surprise just brilliant ! Many thanks to the Publisher, the Author and Net Galley for my copy in return for an honest review .

With thanks to netgalley, Rebecca Netley and the publisher Penguin Michael Joseph UK,

Where yo start with this book. firstly The whistling is very spooky and perfect for some Halloween reading. There was parts in this book that made the hairs on the back of my neck bristle.

It is also part mystery with a handful of witchy folklore thrown in.

Rebecca Nestley has written a chilling and creepy ghost story that has echoes of Susan Hill and a touch of the House of haunted Hill.

This book will seriously creepy you out, an excellent Halloween/October read that will make you sleep with the lights on.

Just remember if you hear a whistling or someone singing a lullaby, be afraid!

When I first started to read "the whistling" all I could think is this is so similar to the "Turning of the Screw" and I almost gave up but I persevered and I'm glad I did because the book really took a turn for the better and it became a great creepy story that has the makings of a great classic in its own rights.

There has been a lot of hype about this book on social media and I thought it looked like the perfect spooky read in the run up to Halloween.

The story is set in the 19th century on an island called Skelthsea. Elspeth gets a job there as a nanny for a troubled young girl who hasn’t spoken since the death of her twin brother. The house, Iskar, is an imposing building that looks across the island.
Elspeth soon realises all is not as it seems. She feels that there are “others” in the house and is afraid. There are rumours on the island about the house being haunted, and when she finds creepy dolls and whistles made of bone, she thinks about leaving.

I liked the desolate atmosphere in the story and thought the setting was described well.
The creepy parts of the story were quite unoriginal for the most part, noises in the night and dolls.
I thought the plot was quite predictable, I had guessed what was going to happen and that took away any tension and suspense.

The characters were OK, I didn’t really take to them. I thought the mix of characters was predictable.

This book was missing something for me. It had potential to be very unsettling but unfortunately wasn’t as it was so predictable.

2.5 stars rounded to 3.

Thanks to Penguin Michael Joseph UK and NetGalley for a copy to review.

I did not really know what to expect from this book, the author's debut novel. But I absolutely loved this beautifully written atmospheric haunting story.

The novel centers around Elspeth, a young women arriving on a remote Scottish island to become a nanny to Mary; a strange, secretive child who hasn't spoken since the recent death of her twin brother, William.

I was immediately drawn into the story and the captivating, almost poetic writing. The atmosphere of the remote island is wonderfully captured, as is the eerieness of the old house and its ghostly secrets.

The characters were sensitively written and you really feel for Elspeth and Mary as they struggle with their growing unease and fear.

This is the perfect, almost old fashioned, Gothic story, reminiscent of The Woman in Black, perfect for these dark autumnal evenings. I would highly recommend it and look forward to reading the author's next book.

Thanks to publishers Penguin Michael Joseph UK and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adore Victorian ghost stories, particularly gothic ones, so The Whistling ticked all the boxes for me!

Elspeth Swansome goes to work as a nanny on the remote Scottish island of Skelthsea. Her charge, Mary, hasn't said a word since the unexpected death of her twin brother William, and the last nanny packed up and left in a hurry. No one will speak of what happened to William, just as no one can explain the sound of singing in empty corridors, strange dolls appearing in abandoned rooms, and the faint whistling that comes in the night...

If you're looking for a truly chilling autumn read, this is the story for you! Set in 1860, it is a gorgeously gothic Victorian ghost story, with proper spooky bits (not the kind that are all in someone's mind). Reminiscent of the recent Netflix series, The Haunting of Bly Manor (based on Henry James' short stories), The Whistling is a modern spin on the classic Victorian ghost story.

The book is big on atmosphere; the eeriness of the remote Scottish island, the creepy old house, sinister servants (shades of Mrs Danvers!) There are plenty of mysteries to solve. What happened to the former nanny? Why does no one speak about William? Why did Mary stop speaking? And then there are the ghosts...
One of my favourite books this year, The Whistling is perfect Halloween reading!

Just remember to leave on the lights...
