Synopsis
Noa is on holiday with her mother Kat and Kat's boyfriend in a rented house in a sleepy village — an ancient, dusty building that Noa privately nicknames "Whisper." From the moment she steps inside, she feels something is wrong with the place, even though no one else around her seems to notice.
Together with David, a boy from the village she slowly falls for, Noa begins investigating the house's history. What she finds is the story of Eliza, a girl who lived in the house thirty years earlier and was murdered in the attic — and whose presence, it seems, has never really left.
A YA novel about a haunted house, an unsolved murder, first love, and the things that refuse to stay buried.
