About this listen

Two best friends. One tragic accident. One deadly secret.

Sasha’s life was perfect—until the car crash that destroyed her career as a concert pianist and her friendship with Abby, the one who was driving. Consumed by grief and blame, Sasha cut Abby out of her life. But when Abby’s body is found floating in a river and a newborn baby is abandoned nearby, Sasha is thrust into a deadly mystery she can’t ignore.

As Detective Sam Tierny—Sasha’s ex—unravels the case, dark secrets emerge: Abby was running from her abusive ex, a man willing to kill to keep her silent. Ignoring Abby’s desperate calls for help, Sasha never knew how much danger her friend was in—until now.

With a killer closing in, Sasha must confront her guilt and risk everything to uncover the truth. Set amidst the haunting beauty of Western Australia’s vineyards, The River Whispers is a gripping tale of betrayal, loss, and the fight for redemption that will keep you on edge until the very end.

Great debut

Cracking debut from Deb Jordan - The River Whispers was entertaining to listen to and I finished it within a few days after starting. Well-narrated and well-written with clear characters and a masterful sense of setting and atmosphere. Super gripping finish and the underlying themes of DV and domestic abuse are well-handled.

Haunting and Atmospheric

The River Whispers is a gripping women’s suspense, where guilt, betrayal, and buried secrets collide——When Sasha's estranged best friend is found dead in the river and a newborn abandoned nearby, she must confront her past to stay alive. I was gripped by the raw emotion and relentless tension, torn between heartbreak and breathless suspense as the mystery unraveled. A must-listen that immerses you in the eerie, untamed beauty of Western Australia.
