"The House of Whispers" is a book written and set in the early 20th century. The main character is Gabrielle Heyburn, who we come to find out holds a terrible secret from her past, and this secret keeps her from revealing the truth to her father and also her lover. There was a lot of buildup in the book for her dastardly deed, and I found it a bit frustrating at times as to why the young lady simply couldn't tell the truth about what happened. I also think by 21st century standards, this is a bit of a far-fetched premise.
The title of the book focuses on a legend surrounding whispers heard in the dark of night and how this leads to near immediate death for anyone that hears them. This was mildly interesting, but not really that mysterious or compelling.
Overall, the story was entertaining, but nothing great. Fortunately, it was a short book, and it moved along fast enough to reveal the source of the whispers and to learn Gabrielle's secret.
