The Dead Whisper- Emma Clapperton- 4*

Sam’s ex girlfriend Zoe is dead. Or is she? His best friend and flat-mate Jenny is hearing things that makes her wonder if it could be Zoe. Zoe had a fixation on Sam and accidently on purpose “bumped” into him which was where the relationship started. A month later Zoe is found dead looking like she has fallen down stairs. Who has killed her and is it really her “voice” that Jenny and Claire are hearing?. This is an unusual read- in a very good way. It begins almost like a ghost story and then develops into a murder plot. The characters are well described and believable which to me always helps a plot line. A little background to the characters and detectives who have lives beyond the job. An interesting premise, a creative tale and a highly enjoyable read.
