Das Geflüster
Das Geflüster begann lange vor dem Unfall in der Harlow Street. Denn wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer. Wo Freundschaft, Neid. Und hinter jeder Lüge verbirgt sich eine verheerende Wahrheit. Bevor der Sommer zu Ende geht, versammelt sich die Nachbarschaft der Harlow Street zu einem Gartenfest. Getränke fließen bis spät in die Nacht und alles scheint perfekt - vor allem die Gastgeberin. Bis zu dem Moment, als Whitney vor aller Augen die Fassung verliert, weil ihr neunjähriger Sohn Xavier nicht gehorchen möchte. Die emotionale Entgleisung sorgt für Getuschel hinter vorgehaltener Hand. Als Xavier nur wenige Monate später aus seinem Kinderzimmerfenster stürzt, ist der Skandal unvermeidbar und das Urteil schnell gefällt. Doch in dieser Nachbarschaft ist niemand so vollkommen, wie er vorgibt zu sein. Im Laufe einer Woche spitzen die Dinge sich zu: Während Xavier zwischen Leben und Tod schwebt, müssen sich die Frauen in der Harlow Street ihren eigenen Abgründen stellen. »Das Geflüster« ist ein mitreißenden Pageturner über vier Frauen, deren Leben sich verändert, als das Undenkbare passiert - und über das, was zerbricht, wenn gute Menschen unverzeihliche Entscheidungen treffen. »Das Ende dieses Romans ist ein derartiger Hammer, dass Sie es zweimal lesen müssen, um es zu glauben.« New York Times
