Review: The Whisper Man

The Whisper Man by Alex North
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am unable to say too much as it would spoil the wonderfully creepy plot of The Whisper Man....but here goes...

DI Pete Willis has made it his mission over the past 20 years to find the body of a little boy called Tony Smith. The Whisper Man or Frank Carter killed him....he is still in prison, jailed for the murders of children all those years ago.

The only body missing is that of Tony.....

Then a six year old boy goes missing ....is this the same as the Whisper Man ? But he’s still locked up...

The story is also told from the perspectives of Tom Kennedy and his absolutely charming young son, Jake. Rebecca, Tom’s wife and mother to Jake had died suddenly and they are both missing her terribly....and struggling with their grief.

The subject matter is at times so hard to read and there will be tears.....

There are many books that are good but a little forgettable, this is not one of those. It’s an incredible piece of creepy and yet emotive and expressive writing and will stay with me for a long time.....but please do not whisper near me for a while yet !!!


I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review
