Reviews for Whistle in the Dark: From the bestselling author of Elizabeth is Missing
Healey is a natural story-teller
Claire Fuller, author of 'Our Endless Numbered Days' This novel is a beautiful and rare thing - a page turning thriller with all the pain, warmth and humour of authentic family life portrayed. I absolutely loved it.
Kate Hamer, author of 'The Girl in the Red Coat' I don't know anyone else who writes like this. Emma Healey's voice soars, sings and startles as she takes you right under the skin of her characters. She 'magics' the ordinary into the extraordinary and, just as impressively, transposes the extraordinary to the ordinary. Unforgettable.
Jane Corry, bestselling author of 'My Husband's Wife' At once an absorbing thriller and a beautifully observed study of the relationship between mother and teenage daughter
Refinery29
Oozing with tension and written with captivating brilliance
Heat
A fast-paced, gripping read
Closer
I adored the forensic detail of Healey's writing and the wry, sharp take on millenial family life
Daily Mail
Utterly compelling and insightful, I was drawn into this family in crisis from the first chapter of this unflinchingly honest and beautifully written novel
Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of 'Sister' A beautiful exploration of mental health and love
Stylist
Gripping, deeply affecting
Irish Times
A compelling modern family drama with witty and wonderful characters. Utter bliss.
Nina Stibbe As gripping as its predecessor
Elle
Courageous...intriguing...entertaining
