Whispers from the Dead is a good little mystery, with a paranormal twist. The story itself was a bit predictable, I was able to figure things out way before Sarah, but it didn't take away from my enjoying the story. One thing that I will give the author credit for is that the parents are very present and involved in this YA book. This is something you don't see much these days in YA. I saw that Ms. Nixon died in 2003. I definitely will be seeking out her other works. I listened to this on audio. The narrator, Julie Dretzin, did a great job.
