"Hines excels at writing gripping supernatural thrillers with plenty of twists and turns; he'll pull you in from page one."
--Library Journal, on The Dead Whisper On (Read the full review)

..............................................

"A miner-turned-garbage collector is the refreshingly different protagonist of this sophomore horror outing by Hines (Waking Lazarus)...Hines writes with wry humor and imagination."
--Publishers Weekly, on The Dead Whisper On (Read the full review)

"Contemporary wisdom is that a good author grabs readers in the first chapter, better yet the first page or first paragraph. In The Dead Whisper On, Billings author T.L. Hines needs just the first sentence: "A dead man spoke to her from the shadows." In just nine words, he lets readers know that an unusual, tense story awaits. And he delivers."

"Hines’s new tale takes elements of ancient mythology – the tale of the Golem, a monster of earth and clay, seeking to wreck vengeance – and mixes it with some good old creeps and crawls. He plays some clever bait and switch games with the good and the bad guys, and creates an excellent genre-mix that’s reminiscent of Dean Koontz, Peter Straub, and Stephen King."

"Hines has given us another complex thriller with The Dead Whisper On, with flawed but admirable, three-dimensional characters. Canada MacHugh is so well-written, that I felt that I knew her...and wanted to help her."

"The Dead Whisper On is really very good. I know that, because when I picked it up the other morning (of course I read it in broad daylight as my mama didn’t raise no fool), I didn’t, couldn’t put it down again until I’d finished the last page. I’d intended just to check it out, but the author hooked me with the first sentence: 'A dead man spoke to her from the shadows.'"

"The plot twists like the mine tunnels under Butte and made it difficult to stop reading. Nothing is as it first appears. (Hines) raises troubling questions that tie in with our current fears and apprehension. Who, or what, is really our enemy?"
--TitleTrakk, on The Dead Whisper On (Read the full review)
