The Whispering

When the walls start to talk, the façade of Cadie's perfect life—including the man who swore to protect her—begins to crumble in this tense psychological thriller.

Cadie McIntyre thinks Wright Manor will heal her. Perched above the dark New England coastline, her fiancé's ancestral estate is grand, remote, and nothing like the chaos she's fled. And Oliver Wright, the brilliant doctor who saved her life once, has vowed to keep her safe forever.

But the longer Cadie spends behind its locked doors, the more the house seems to breathe around her. Hallways shift, shadows linger, and whispers curl through the walls, warning her of family secrets buried for generations. And soon, her betrothed's tender concern starts to look a whole lot like control.

As Cadie's world narrows to the manor's suffocating rooms, she must decide whether Oliver is her savior or her captor. Because someone—or something—in this place wants her quiet, compliant, and very much alone.

From USA Today–bestselling author L.A. Detwiler comes this chilling suspense novel inspired by The Yellow Wallpaper and set in a home built on secrets, in which the truth isn't just unsettling . . . it's deadly.
