About this ebook

She opens her eyes and struggles to make out the dark room around her. One thing she knows instantly – her wrists are bound and she’s tied to a chair, unable to move. As she screams for help, she hears footsteps outside. He’s coming…


Fifteen-year-old Lindy Rosen has been having nightmares for weeks, waking in a panic, screaming that there’s a man in her room watching her sleep. Her parents assumed it was her overactive imagination, but when one morning they find Lindy missing from her bedroom, they’re not so sure. Detective Jenna Alton is called in to investigate.


Within hours of the schoolgirl going missing, the kidnapper reaches out to Jenna with a video of Lindy bound and tied to a chair, crying to be set free. And a simple message – you’ve got 24 hours to find her or I kill her.


Jenna’s team work around the clock to try to find Lindy before the deadline, but time runs out, and Jenna receives a devastating message. The killer has made good on his promise. He’s playing a dangerous game. And no one knows what his next move will be.


But just two days later, one of Lindy’s school friends is taken in the middle of the night and the countdown begins again.


Completely addictive from the very start, if you like Lisa Regan, Karin Slaughter and Rachel Abbott you’ll love Whisper in the Night.

4.25⭐ Whisper in the Night is a chillingly thrilling story. That I couldn't put down. As Kane and Alton take on a killer whose determined to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse not just with them but the whole team. And with plenty of twists and suspects to keep me guessing, this really was a fantastically gripping read, and one I would happily recommend to others.

4.5 stars Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane ... along with the team of Shane Wolfe, Deputies Walters and Webber and Maggie .... return for a sixth installment of this gripping crime fiction. Although sixth in line, it reads easily as a stand alone, but I highly recommend starting at the very beginning. The characters are well worth following. A teenage girl sees a man in her room. Her parents come running when she screams ..but there is no one there. Five nights in a row she has this 'dream' .. until the parents take a 2-second look and tell her to go back to sleep. But then she disappears from her room .... Jenna gets a call that a girl has gone missing. Within hours, Jenna gets a text from the killer giving her 6 hours to find the girl. A video is attached proving that he has her. The killer has made good on his promise. He’s playing a dangerous game. And no one knows what his next move will be. And then another teenager disappears under the same circumstances, followed by another text and video. But its when the killer turns eyes on Jenna and takes someone close to her that it becomes very personal ... and it becomes a cat and mouse game. Completely addictive from the very start, this is a series ... and author ... worth following. I really enjoy how the characters relate to each other... they're loyal, trustworthy, and have each others' backs. The story premise is a very good one, riveting from the very first page. The suspense holds until the final word in the final chapter. Many thanks to the author / Bookouture / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

(4.5) Happy Sigh. As gut wrenching thriller as this series is, I give a happy sigh knowing complacency about life will be tested, I will be scared, thrilled and even through the losses in these stories there is a form of HEA. Love Love Love Kane (sorry he's not Dave to me) and Wolfe. Jenna is learning to trust and to lean on her team. There are multiple possibilites for who the killer is and I love how we are part of the thought process of the Sheriff Dept. WIN! Thank you NetGalley, D.K. Hood, and Bookouture. All thoughts and opinions are my own and we're unsolicited.
