Review in 🇬🇧

"Alone in the world, Elspeth Swansome has taken the position of nanny to a family on the remote Scottish island of Skelthsea. Her charge, Mary, is a troubled child. Distracted and secretive, she hasn't uttered a word since the sudden death of her twin, William - just days after their former nanny disappeared.

With Mary defiantly silent, Elspeth turns to the islanders. But no one will speak of what happened to William. Just as no one can explain the hypnotic lullabies sung in empty corridors. Nor the strange dolls that appear in abandoned rooms. Nor the faint whistling that comes in the night . . .

As winter draws in and passage to the mainland becomes impossible, Elspeth finds herself trapped. But is this house haunted by the ghosts of the past? Or the secrets of the living?"

Finally I found a good horror book! The Whistling is a scary story with mystery and secrets tightly webbed into it. You can feel the suspense crawling on your skin, the whistle faintly in your ears... To be honest, this book really is quite scary and I kept my porch light on at night after reading this! 

🔸

The Whistling is Rebecca Netley's first book, and hopefully many more will come. Her way with words is almost like poetry, and the way she describes the surroundings and sets the mood is amazing. It is like you are right there, in rainy Skelthsea, with Elspeth. I for one believe there is a big market for this kind of scary stories, so I definitely hope Netley writes more stories that make your blood run cold!

I am giving this book full five stars, because I had a great time reading it. Even now that I know the ending, I think I could read this again and have a good time. I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes a good ghost story!
