In the whispering winds of Willow Creek, where misty valleys cradle storybook charm, Sunnybrook Cottage Daycare is a beacon of giggles, crayons, and innocent wonders. Until a child's faint murmurs unravel threads of long-buried secrets that refuse to stay silent.
Theresa Daye-Reed cherishes her life as guardian of pint-sized dreamers, foster mom to artistic Emily, and loving wife to charming librarian Alex. But as she navigates the joyful chaos of early pregnancy-complete with cravings, nesting instincts, and the thrill of expanding their family-a cryptic anonymous note shatters the calm. A desperate mother pleads for help deciphering her six-year-old daughter's eerie whispers and prophetic drawings, sketches that depict impossible scenes from Willow Creek's shadowy history: forgotten mill fires, echoing tunnels, and voices carried on the river's breath.
Teaming up with Alex's research prowess amid renovations for his new bookstore, Reed Between the Lines, and Mia's street-smart insights from the daycare, Theresa delves into a haunting tied to the town's past. Whispers that seem supernatural at first reveal deeper truths, perhaps echoes of trauma, family curses, or hidden artifacts amplifying unspoken fears. All the while, Theresa balances morning sickness during circle time, Emily's big-sister excitement mixed with pangs of jealousy, and the grand-opening stresses of turning Alex's bookish dreams into reality. With Officer Daniels' reluctant aid and cameos from familiar faces, they navigate courtroom whispers, underground explorations, and heartfelt family moments while devotedly shielding the littles from encroaching darkness.
Daycare Whispers is a heartwarming cozy mystery overflowing with small-town allure, hilarious kid quips like Whispers tickle my ears like sneaky fairies! and spine-tingling suspense that keeps the pages turning. Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author MariaLisa deMora delivers the third installment in the Sunnybrook Cottage Cozy Mysteries series, where stakes whisper as softly as a child's secret yet cut as deep as a family's bond. Perfect for fans of found family, rainbow-hued hope, and resolutions that lead to brighter, bolder tomorrows-because in Willow Creek, every murmur holds the promise of light.
