"Chilling!" Publishers Weekly
"...a well-paced suspense populated by dynamic characters." Kirkus Discoveries
My thoughts:
"The Dead Whisper On" was a unique, intriguing tale. I emailed T.L. Hines halfway through the novel and congratulated him on being the first author to truly freak me out in a novel. =)
This is one book to read with your back to a wall and a large dog at your feet. But you won't regret it - despite the goosebumps and jaw-dropping twists, you'll discover sincere glimmers of truth and hope that will rock your world. And your views...
