Critics Review
It is her ability to make average, often wounded human psyches crackle and glow…that is Fossum’s forte…She has an exceptional eye for fragility and vulnerability, and the complexity and dark humour of these states of mind.
The Whisperer contains deep psychological insight … Creepy, unnerving discomfort and plausible madness in everyday life… Builds towards the shocking reveal. * VG *
Exemplary… the suspense is maintained with a sure touch – Barry Forshaw * Guardian *
The new twists are all wonderful and the old creepy atmosphere is brilliantly recreated with Long Island’s swirling mists – Wendy Holden * Daily Mail *
The final page will make your jaw drop and your heart stop – Mark Saunderson * Evening Standard *
The Whisperer is not just one of the best works of crime fiction I have ever read but one of the best novels I have ever read… a fascinating exploration of the mentality of a paranoid schizophrenic… It is SO brilliant! Fossum… really seems to know human nature * Tablet *
Fossum has used her talent for drawing us into the minds of the misunderstood to powerful effect… [The Whisperer] can be enjoyed on its own merits as a work of fiction; yet it also communicates an experience of psychosis in a way no textbook can * BJPsych Bulletin *
