If you leave a door half-open, soon you'll hear the whispers spoken...
Still devastated after the loss of his wife, Tom Kennedy and his young son Jake move to the sleepy village of Featherbank, looking for a fresh start.
But Featherbank has a dark past. Fifteen years ago a twisted serial killer abducted and murdered five young boys. Until he was finally caught, the killer was known as 'The Whisper Man'.
Of course, an old crime need not trouble Tom and Jake as they try to settle in to their new home. Except that now another boy has gone missing. And then Jake begins acting strangely.
He says he hears a whispering at his window... My thoughts
Thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
I gave this story a solid 4 stars or 8/10.
Told in short chapters that draw you in to the story, this is quite a dark read that will keep you guessing from the start until almost the end when all the strands of the story begin to knit together.
Who is the Whisper Man and what is his connection to the missing boy, if any at all? The Whisper Man stands up there with the Bogey Man, who forms the basis of plenty of childhood nightmares. To find out more about the Whisper Man and his relevance to this story grab yourself a copy and prepare to be a little scared at times as the story reveals itself to you as you read.
I enjoyed the story and found myself wanting to read another chapter as soon as I finished one, due to the addictiveness of the storyline and the short chapters tempting the reader to carry on reading.
This is the first book that I have read by this Author, I will be looking to see what else he has written and keeping my eye on him in the future. After having a quick look on Goodreads apparently Alex North has written previously under another name. I need to investigate this further now.
