Welcome to Litsy!

In this tense and twisty latest from Norway�s maven of crime, time shifts between Inspector Sejer�s interrogation of the accused Ragna Reigel and the shocking events that led up to her arrest. How did this lonely, quiet woman come to kill a man�or did she? How did a lonely, quiet woman come to kill a man�or did she? Ragna Riegel is a soft-spoken woman of routines. She must have order in her life, and she does, until one day she finds a letter in her mailbox with her name on the envelope and a clear threat written in block capitals on the sheet inside. With the arrival of the letter, and eventually others like it, Ragna�s carefully constructed life begins to unravel into a nightmare�threatened by an unknown enemy, paranoid and unable to sleep, her isolation becomes all the more extreme. Ragna�s distress does culminate in a death, but she is the perpetrator rather than the victim. The Whisperer shifts between Inspector Sejer�s interrogation of Ragna and the shocking events that led up to her arrest. Sejer thinks it is an open-and-shut case, but is it? Compelling and unnerving, The Whisperer probes plausible madness in everyday life and asks us to question assumptions even in its final moments.
