In the woods they lay, sleeping in shadow, far from the light When her friend Maureen dies, seventeen-year-old Nell Brannerly flees the tavern where she's been trapped for years, taking with her Maureen's young son, Eben On the lonely road to Bellayne where Eben's father lives, Nell's past comes back to haunt her. She realises she must uncover the secrets surrounding the deaths of her mother and master, so that she can throw off the cloak of despair that's smothered her ever since. In the woods near Bellayne, Nell and Eben stumble across a buried body. Nell is horrified to learn at the local inn that girls have been disappearing from the town, and that Eben's father, Jack Lea, seems to be involved. After Eben's life is threatened and an eerie encounter with a ghost-girl, Nell must find the killer herself before she's permanently stopped from delving too deeply into the secrets among the townsfolk and the Greenfriars of St Clement's. Nell is forced to confront her own mortality and she is touched by the strange forces moving beyond what she can see in the physical world. She begins to see herself - and life itself - in a new light. Their cries stir the night … Hush! Can you hear them? Will you come?

Autorenporträt
Mandy Rae Wylie was born in Colac, Victoria, and lived on a dairy farm for the first few years of her life. Her imagination blossomed during many trips to the town library with her grandmother, and from there grew the desire to tell her own stories. In Whispers & Poison, she explores her lifelong fascination with mysteries and secrets, fears and motivations, and with the mystical force that enlivens, uplifts and connects us all. The novel plays with the idea that when we sense this ever-present and subtle flow it can reveal to us our hidden gifts and pathways. Mandy Rae now lives in Queensland, where she loves to play board games, swim, garden, watch sword fighting, and read thrillers and murder mysteries in bed. She also loves to walk in nature, gaze at the night sky, have at least one good belly laugh a day and as many hugs as she can get from loved ones and her dog, Daisy.
