PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After Sarah Darnell's near-drowning, she feels haunted by a shadowy ghost-like presence. So when her father announces he is being transferred to Houston, the family welcomes the opportunity to put Sarah's tragic experience behind them. But the moment Sarah enters their new house, she is paralyzed by a cold mist that is only apparent to her. And she is convinced something horrible has happened in that house. Her fears are confirmed when she learns that the previous owner's son had been charged with murdering a delivery girl, and the maid had mysteriously disappeared. But nothing prepares Sarah for the cruel trick perpetrated by a new friend--a trick that backfires and endangers Sarah's life. A master at creating compelling suspense novels, Nixon ( The Dark and Deadly Pool ) has written yet another carefully plotted, subtly terrifying thriller. Ages 12-up.
Customer Reviews
Great Read
I read this book when I was in was school and had such a hard time remembering the name of it I finally found it. This book is a great read.
Spooky, suspenseful ghost story!
Whispers from the Dead was the first book I ever read by Joan Lowery Nixon, and it was a great read! If there’s anything I like better than a spooky ghost story, it’s one that is also a mystery. This book delivered, page for page, through all of its exciting 180 pages! I’ve never read the ebook or any other electronic edition because I prefer physical books, particularly paperbacks. But I would recommend this book to ANYONE who loves a great mystery, complete with ghosts, especially if you like YA thrillers and those that were originally published in the 80s and 90s, in particular! If I could, I would rate this book more than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
