This is the start of a new cozy series and there's a lot potential. As in any starting book we got to know the characters and the setting.
Jill is an interesting character, there's the ghost of the past who are still hauting her, but there's also a lovely brother and strong friends.
The mystery was solid, I loved the art center setting, and it kept me guessing.
There's some wish-to-die moments when Jill is a bit too reckless but I appreciated the final part.

The target of this book are very young people but I think it should be read by people of all ages as we need to know what are the risks and what will happen when there's only silence.
There's a realistic description of what is happening and will happen but there's also hope.
And hope is what can makes wish that the whales will sing for a long time.
Highly recommended.

I read other books about the Underground Railroad and I think this is a good one as it's well plotted and flows.
The MC, Rina, is a well developed, clever, and strong character and I liked her.
The storytelling is excellent, the historical background well researched and vivid.
An excellent read.
Highly recommended.

A heartwarming and life affirming novel, funny and poignant at the same time.
I love how Judy Leigh develops her over 50s ladies and I like her stories.
This one kept me hooked and I thoroughly enjoyed it even if it's a bit slow at times.

A life affirming and poignant story, it made me smile and moved me to tears.
When I read the blurb I thought about Harold and Maude even if the story is less on the dark humour side.
I liked Bruno and Esther, liked their relationship. I smiled and sniffed.
It's a well plotted story that flows and kept me reading. A bit slow at moment but it always kept my attention alive.
