review 1: So for the most part this was a pretty good story, but I felt like this book is part of a larger story or series. There were several elements introduced -- in fact, characters go to great lengths to point them out and make a big deal about them -- and then nothing. A romantic relationship was a bit of a surprise and felt rushed and a bit tacked on -- like perhaps it was something that built in the second or third (or slightly longer) story.That being said, I do like the tension Amanda Stevens manages to put into her stories. Isolation, insanity and giant venomous snakes. Fantastic.
review 2: The Whispering Room is a story of pure evil. Evil that is lurking around every corner which has now landed on the doorstep of Detective Evangeline Theroux’s (“Evie”) ... morehome.Evie’s a highly decorated detective with the New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”). She’s tough and smart and once she gets her hooks into something, she won’t let go. As tough as she is, she’s having difficulty dealing with the death of her husband, Johnny, a year ago. Johnny was also a detective with the NOPD and his murder was never solved. Evie has a lot on her plate. While trying to get the respect of her fellow officers and deal with her emotions about Johnny, she’s trying, without success, to bond with her 5-month old son, J.D. On top of all this, she’s just found out her parents are separating; she and her partner are in the midst of trying to solve a recent murder; and everywhere she turns the FBI just happens to be there. With all of this, Evie is waiting for the other shoe to drop which it does with a big thud. Strange things are occurring. Evie knows and feels something is not right and that it has entered her and her son’s lives. I have to say that with the bizarre murder case, the death of her husband and strange happenings, I really didn’t think the story would end well. I was mistaken. Stevens wraps up the intertwining stories really well. The ending itself was one I didn’t foresee. Without being overly-descriptive, the author gives the readers a clear picture of the lush surroundings of New Orleans, making you feel like you’re in the midst of what’s going on. This is probably why I found it to be a bit creepy every so often while reading the book. Just thinking about it now makes me shudder. This book is full of twists and turns. It’s an easy read with a story that is fast-paced and relayed well. I highly recommend reading this book especially if you like mysteries and thrillers. less
