Wow!  I just finished rereading 'Night Whispers.'   I had read it once years ago
and my remembrance was that it was not nearly as good as JM's earlier works.  I have said this in a different post, and now that I have finished it, I think it was better than I remembered; but it was still not up to her earlier books.   The character of Noah was not really developed enough to 'grab' you or make you love him.

Boy, I loved Paul Richardson in 'Perfect '.  Well, I didn't like that he talked Julie into believing Zack was guilty; but he was a likable character.  He sure doesn't seem to have very good intuition for an FBI agent, though.  He thought Zack was guilty and then was completely wrong about Noah in a BIG way.   But in both books he finally saved the day for both girls.  Kudos to him for that!!

I'm reading EBYT next, which was another I read when it first came out and have not re-read since.  Jessica, you mentioned the expanded version is so much better, so I'm going for that one.

didem,

I had just started reading it when I said it seemed really good. After I have finished it, I stand by my remembered ('sterling recommendation' ) that it is not as good as her earlier books. Sorry, JM! Still well worth reading.
