Whispers of Dead Girls

A Novel

De: Marlee Bush

Narrado por: Jaime Lamchick

She’s right. It can never happen again. She won’t let it.

Ten years have passed, and Ren Taylor is back at square one, having accepted a job at her old high school. She’d hoped to make peace with the past but now she’s thrust back into it: her murdered teenage sister is still immortalized in town, and Ren can’t stop seeing her wherever she goes. She’s dogged by the scandal that ruined her childhood and killed her sister.

Then Ren meets physics teacher Bryson Lewis. Handsome and charismatic, all the other teachers and students seem to fall at his feet. But Ren knows men like him–she knows they can’t be trusted.

The more Ren watches him, the more suspicious she becomes. And when she notices his close relationship with a girl in one of his classes–a girl just like her sister–she worries history is about to repeat itself. This time, she won’t sit back and watch another girl be taken before her time.

This time, Ren will do what she must to save her, even if it means revealing her own darkest secrets.

She did it again!

After reading When She Was Me by Marlee Bush, I knew she was an author I’d be following closely. So when I heard about Whispers of Dead Girls, I was counting down the days until release — and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

This story pulled me in right from the very first page. Ren, the main character, returns to her hometown to teach at her old high school, and from there, the past and present start weaving together in the most chilling, intriguing way. I loved how the story kept me guessing. Just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist would come along and turn everything upside down.

I not only bought the physical book, but I also listened to it on Audible — and I rarely do both. The audiobook narration was fantastic and really brought the story to life. But I still plan to go back and read my physical copy because it was that good.

Marlee Bush has a way of creating characters and settings that feel so real, with just the right touch of mystery and suspense. At 58 years old, I’ve read a lot of thrillers in my time, and this one will definitely stick with me. If you love a good, atmospheric mystery with a touch of the eerie, don’t miss this one.
