It’s made clear from the start that Ragna has committed a serious crime after receiving anonymous threats, but the details are only slowly revealed during interviews with Police Inspector Sejer. Although Ragna works in a local supermarket, she lives a lonely and claustrophobic life - her inability to speak following a medical procedure, in which her vocal chords were damaged, means that she deploys techniques such as facial expressions, small movements of body language and whispering to help make herself understood, but she avoids interaction with others whenever possible, she’s very much the archetypal loner. Her only son Rikard left home some ten years earlier, and now works in Berlin, but apart from the occasional Christmas card, they have no contact whatsoever. Ragna Reigel lives alone in her childhood home in the small Norwegian town of Kirkelina.

She again destroyed the evidence of the note he placed in her food, and feeling panicked she attacked the person who invaded her space, firstly Bennett and the Adde, with the fork. Irfan drove her to and from the police station and questioned her and the letters stopped.
She went to the police station to report the last letter, sat in the seat and imagined that she wouldn’t be believed and then thought that had really happened. (In these instances she couldn’t see or hear a car.) The police didn’t believe her because she had a mental illness and had destroyed the evidence. I think he put the notes in her letterbox and next to her bed, stood at the end of her driveway and rang her doorbell. Ragna, with her strange behaviour, would be an easy target. Irfan was angry with the tax office and had to take it out on someone. However, being paranoid doesn’t prevent someone from being a target. First the reader is lead to believe that she received the letters, then that she didn’t and that they were a symptom of her paranoid schizophrenia. I think the ending means that Ragna was telling the truth about receiving the letters. Sejer thinks it is an open-and-shut case, but is it? Compelling and unnerving, The Whisperer probes plausible madness in everyday life and asks us to question assumptions even in its final moments.more The Whisperer shifts between Inspector Sejer’s interrogation of Ragna and the shocking events that led up to her arrest. With the arrival of the letter, and eventually others like it, Ragna’s carefully constructed life begins to unravel into a nightmare-threatened by an unknown enemy, paranoid and unable to sleep, her isolation becomes all the more extreme. Ragna’s distress does culminate in a death, but she is the perpetrator rather than the victim. She must have order in her life, and she does, until one day she finds a letter in her mailbox with her name on the envelope and a clear threat written in block capitals on the sheet inside. Ragna Riegel is a soft-spoken woman of routines. How did a lonely, quiet woman come to kill a man-or did she? How did this lonely, quiet woman come to kill a man-or did she?
