The Whisper Place
How do you find a woman who doesn’t exist?
As a former police officer and a psychic detective, Max Summerlin and Jonah Kendrick may not be the most conventional business partners. But together, they have years of investigative experience, and opening their own PI firm feels like a natural decision.
When a man walks into their office searching for a missing girlfriend without a past or even a name, Max and Jonah realize their newest client may present their hardest challenge yet. Their first task: find out why he refuses to go to the police.
Meanwhile, a woman drives across the country with all her belongings packed into a car, desperate to escape a dark past. The question whispered to the fleeing woman, Max, and Jonah is the same: can you ever really change your life?
From an 80’s-inspired bakery to a horrifying house at the edge of the woods, Max and Jonah unearth the missing woman’s shocking past, and in the process, put themselves directly in the path of the terror she was trying to outrun.
The latest installment of Mindy Mejia’s USA Today bestselling and Edgar nominated series is guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
Reviews
“This is a really exciting title. Very place-based, very atmospheric. She is an emergent and beloved Minnesota author.”
—Beth Burns, KSTP
“Mejia is known for her twisty plots, and this is the twistiest. Every time you think you’ve got it figured out, she throws something new into the plot.”
—Mary Ann Grossmann, Pioneer Press
“Mejia’s thriller is a love letter to the Midwest, as strange as that may seem given the graphic nature of the novel… Openness does not equate to absence in Mejia’s text. Rather, openness is meant to make room for everything humanity has to offer—the good and the bad thrown in stark relief.”
—K. Twaddle, Little Village Mag
“[Mejia’s] plotting is as twisty as ever. This series continues to impress.”
