Book Review: The Whisper Man by Alex North

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from NetGalley and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

In this dark, suspenseful thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town.

After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank.

But the town has a dark past. Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man," for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night.

Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumors that he preyed with an accomplice. Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man.

And then Jake begins acting strangely. He hears a whispering at his window...

Review

So I have been seeing this book all over social media, so I had to see what the hype was all about. Not going to lie when I first started the book I was BORED and stopped reading the book. Then this book was selected as the virtual book club read and a lot of the members were raving about the book so I decided to give it another chance. I am so happy I did because the book started picking up and I couldn’t read fast enough to see what would happen. There were some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I love when a book keeps me on my toes. I must admit I could only read during the day because I got scared at night. Pitiful I know. This was my first time reading this author and it won’t be my last time. If you are looking for a spooky and creepy story for the season look no further!
