After her husband, Isaac, gets a new, better-paying job, Janey Markham moves to Buckingham Crescent, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in their new town. She quickly learns which are the moms to become friends with when dropping her son off a school. Edie, Tanya, and Kyoko are the moms everyone envies and wants to be included with. Janey gets invited into their group, but is being friends with them as good as it seemed it would be or will it get her into trouble?

Little Whispers is about moms who gossip, but there’s a lot more to it. It had all the makings of a great thriller, but it just fell flat for me. It was a slow build, but it never picked up or had me on the edge of my seat. I honestly found it quite predictable. I didn’t see everything coming, but figured out who the bad guy was early on.

There was a secondary mystery throughout the book set in the past which I did actually enjoy. I can’t say more without giving anything away, but I would have liked the past story to be connected to the main story somehow.

I’ve read two other books by K.L. Slater and really enjoyed them. This one just wasn’t for me though.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
