The Whispering in the Static (Quick reads Book 5)

Lorie Bennett is a middle-aged mother of two, used to managing school lunches and PTA meetings—not decoding cryptic signals or chasing shadows. But when she hears a chilling detail on her favorite true-crime podcast, something clicks. A missing girl. A frayed notebook. A moment she can't forget. Driven by instinct and armed with nothing but intuition and a fierce maternal resolve, Lorie slips into a hidden world of static-laced whispers, abandoned radio stations, and a conspiracy stitched into the very airwaves. What begins as curiosity spirals into obsession—as she uncovers voices the world refused to hear. The deeper she digs, the closer she comes to danger. Because in Magnolia Ridge, secrets don't stay buried... they broadcast. A thriller of grit, grace, and the quiet power of listening, Whispers in the Static is the story of one woman who risked everything to hear the truth. Quick Reads: Big stories. Short flights.
