Everyone thinks Sophie’s sister, Nell, went crazy. After all, she heard strange voices that drove her to commit suicide. But Sophie doesn’t believe that Nell would take her own life, and she’s convinced that Nell’s doctor knows more than he’s letting on.As Sophie starts to piece together Nell’s last days, every lead ends in a web of lies. And the deeper Sophie digs, the more danger she’s in—because now she’s hearing the same haunting whispers. Sophie’s starting to think she’s going crazy too. Or worse, that maybe she’s not….
The Murmurings was a good one-time read. I will definitely be recommending it to some of my more advanced female readers who like the horror genre. Sophie's twin sister Nell is found hanging from a tree by just her big toe after she escapes from a mental institution a few days prior. Most people believe that Nell committed suicide, but Sophie has her doubts. When Sophie begins seeing a fellow classmate, Evan the two begin to investigate the mental institution where Nell was housed. Sophie learns that there are people known as "seers" and "takers" and that maybe her sister was not "crazy" after all. There is nothing inappropriate in this book other than the use of the "F" word a few times. The plot moves slow in a few parts, but there is still enough action to keep adolescents' attention.
