Quotes from Whisper of Evil

“I'm not hovering. I just thought you might be interested in knowing that Nell's boss is here."
Max stopped typing. "Bishop?"
"Yep."
"What's he doing here?"
"Apparently just finished up another investigation in Chicago.""So what's he doing here?"
Ethan grinned. "I'm trying to make out whether you consider him a rival or just somebody who's going to
spirit Nell back to Virginia.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Whisper of Evil

“Yes, I also came home to settle my father's estate."
"Would you have come home if it hadn't also been your job?"
"I think you know the answer to that."
"You hated him, didn't you?"
Nell poured the coffee and pushed his cup across the counter to him so he could fix it the way he liked.
Matter-of-factly, she said, "Yes, I hated him. And I think it's a cosmic joke that I ended up with all his
property.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Whisper of Evil

“She didn't. I hadn't seen or spoken to Hailey since I left Silence."
He frowned. "Then she made that stuff up?"
Nell sipped her coffee, then smiled. "She always made stuff up, Max. Didn't you know?"
"You're saying she was a liar?"
"Sweet, friendly Hailey. So charming, so good-tempered. And she had a way about her, didn't she? A
way of… getting people behind her. A way of making people believe her. Not exactly my strong suit,
huh?”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Whisper of Evil

“Abruptly, she said, "I wonder what she did to so alienate our father that he disinherited her. Do you
know?"
"Supposedly… she ran off with Glen Sabella. He was a mechanic, and he was married. Gossip had it
that your father was furious, especially since—"
"Since both his wife and his other daughter had also run off without a word.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Whisper of Evil

“If he pushed too often or too hard, she was very capable of, at the very least, calling
her boss or her invisible partner and having Max put on ice somewhere while she went on working.
The girl twelve years ago couldn't have done that, but this woman certainly could. And would.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Whisper of Evil

About the author

Popular quotes

“But he was so young then that later he was only able to remember fragments of what happened next: the lull of the morning fields, the springy cotton flanks of the sheep, the suddenness of the tumble down the deep hole in which he would spend the night, alone, gazing up at the puzzled sheep, and hours later, Mother Vera's thoughtful, dawn-lit face hovering over the mouth of the hole.”
― Téa Obreht, quote from The Tiger's Wife

“The queen watched Annwyl for several long moments. “You are an interesting . . . thing. I think I understand what my son sees in you.”
Annwyl swallowed. “Son?”
“You didn’t know?” Annwyl slowly shook her head. “Yes. I think all my children are quite unimpressed with their rank among dragons.”
“Yes. Apparently they are.”
― quote from Dragon Actually

“Ella se agarró a él, canción tras canción, mirándole fijamente a los ojos, como solía hacer antes conmigo. Así que quizá bebiera una copa de más mientras observaba la escena. Y tal vez aquel jarrón del vestíbulo se rompiera por mi culpa. Y puede que acabara mordiendo la almohada para silenciar mi llanto, para que Avery no me oyera.”
― Kiera Cass, quote from The Guard

“But what kind of race is it, when the racers never let go of each other's hands, and the winner pulls the loser laughing over the finish line?”
― Orson Scott Card, quote from Shadow Puppets

“İnsan sıfırı tüketmeye yaklaşınca, adım atmaya mecali kalmayınca, günah çıkarma zamanı gelmiş demektir. İster vasiyet deyin ister (hür) irade – veya yaşamın Son Soluk Salonu. Hayatıma dair hükümleri yollar boyunca
bulduğum her yere çiviledikten sonra, cebimde kızıl bir kalenin anahtarlarıyla burada durmamın – daha doğrusu oturmamın nedeni bu işte; nihai teslimiyetten önceki bekleyiş anlarını geçirmek.”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from The Moor's Last Sigh

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
