Catch your breath. It might be your last . . . A bone-chilling, terrifying story about two sisters and secrets hiding beneath the snow.
A raging blizzard isn’t enough to keep fourteen-year-old Rose and seven-year-old Lily in their abusive home for another night. But their escape plan goes wrong when Rose disappears and Lily wakes up in the snow-covered woods, terrified and alone. She never sees her sister again.
Twenty-five years later, Lily is a social worker with a skill for finding missing children – and a deep fear of the cold. When a foster child she works with is found frozen to death in the snow, Lily is forced to confront her past trauma. What happened to Rose, and why did she abandon her sister in the snow? As terrible secrets are finally dug up, the truth takes a bone-chillingly dark turn.
Told in alternating viewpoints of Lily and Rose, this chillingly atmospheric, dark novel of suspense with jaw-dropping twists is perfect for fans of Cold as Hell by Kelley Armstrong, The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld and The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf.
What did I think?
I was drawn to A Cold Whisper by the blurb and I'm so pleased that I picked it up as it's a fantastic read.
Told via multiple points of view we follow two sets of siblings: sisters Lily and Rose and brothers Daniel and Hunter. Lily is a social worker and she has first hand experience of being abandoned as her sister Rose left her in the snow 25 years ago. Daniel is the new cop in town and he's trying to live up to his brother Hunter.
I just loved the way the story unravelled piece by piece and the dual sibling characters was very unusual and worked really well. It is so devastating to read about missing children and it definitely pulled at my heartstrings. The pacing is fast and it doesn't let up until you turn the final page.
Gripping, haunting and chilling, A Cold Whisper is a fantastic psychological thriller that hooked me from the start and kept me riveted throughout. A highly recommended read.
I received a gifted paperback for the Bookstagram Tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
