I was completely engrossed in this book, dedicating both day and night to its pages. As a devoted fan of true crime and similar genres, I found the story to be utterly captivating and remarkably true to life. The author skillfully delved into the relationships that demanded exploration, striking a perfect balance without overextending them. Conversely, the unnecessary relationships were not given excessive attention. One aspect that particularly delighted me was how the narrative seamlessly incorporated the past, completing a satisfying full circle.

Finding a book that managed to tear me away from work and hold my attention so firmly was truly exhilarating. It was impossible for me to resist its grip, as I was compelled to keep reading without interruption.

As the story unfolded, it relentlessly fueled my intrigue, gradually intensifying my desire to delve further into its depths. With each passing page, my need to continue reading grew more fervent, ultimately reaching its pinnacle as I approached the climactic conclusion. The unexpected relationship between Pete and Tom took me by surprise, yet it seamlessly wove into the narrative, adding a compelling dimension. Rebecca, with her intricately crafted role, played an integral part in rendering this story whole and fulfilling. In this tale, the echoes of the departed resounded, reminding us that sometimes, even in death, voices find a way to be heard.

Audiobook The Whisper Man by Alex North

Spoiler Free. The Whisper Man would qualify as a either a thriller, a mystery/procedural or a family drama but is perhaps a strong example of none of these. It never quite made up its mind as to what it wanted to be. The overall story seems to be about a young boy that has gone missing in a small town, which has an eerie similarity to a series of crimes committed by a serial killer 20 years prior which left several young boys murdered and another missing young boy never found.

The mystery part of the novel is procedural and told from a third-person perspective of (mainly) two detectives – Pete Willis and Amanda Beck – who are working the case of the missing boy in the current day story. Pete was the detective who worked the similar case 20 years prior and has been brought in to assist based on the similarities of the cases. Are the cases connected? Is it a copycat? The new case brings out a resurgence of interest in the prior case, especially to unresolved questions. What happened to the boy that was never found? Was there, perhaps, an accomplice? Can they find the young boy in time to save him?

The thriller/family drama part is from the first-person perspective of Tom Kennedy, a man who has recently lost his wife, and his strange experiences in a new house he has moved into with his young, eccentric son Jake. They are attempting a fresh, new start in a completely random town and place they find in real estate listings – unlucky for them, they move into the town where this boy has gone missing and end up involved in the case. From Tom’s POV, you get strange events in the night, creepy visitors, and an overall feeling of paranoia as he attempts to figure out what’s happening in his new home and, of course, with his young son. Tom and Jake’s role in the overall story is somewhat confusing and highly coincidental. How they relate to the town and the case in question is bizarre at most. The coincidences cannot be revealed without giving spoilers, but I eye-rolled my way through revelation after revelation. Their story (and even how they relate to the town) is a highly emotional account of a man and his son coping with their broken family. Some of the strongest, most beautifully written scenes in the book includes all the family drama and that’s not just limited to Tom and Jake. I saw strong promise here in the writing style. However, these are almost some of the most confusing parts as there is much hinted at that is never resolved – these parts slip into a paranormal (?) realm that is mostly ignored in the overall plot.

Overall, there are way too many perspectives happening that brought this one down for me. Besides Tom and Pete, you also get random other perspectives thrown in that are only a couple of pages long and more distracting than helpful. Switching from first (Tom) to third person (Pete and everyone else) is highly problematic and hard to pull off. In this case, the book suffered from it. Scenes that should have been suspenseful (mostly from Tom’s POV) simply weren’t. The various genres and POVs within a single novel seemed to fight against each other rather than meld together. I didn’t find the book creepy save for a few scenes. I could see the plot unfolding from a mile away and was disappointed with a lack of surprises. As the ending unrolled, more eye-rolling from this one as the most obvious course happened and the coincidences continued.

On the positive side, the author has a talent with words and I could see the promise of a really good novel in this one. It’s almost two books in one (the serial killer and procedural vs. the story of Tom and Jake) and I wish he had picked one and let it shine as center stage. The same story could have been told either way. I also did read it in one sitting as I would call it a page turner. The premise was good in theory (though the more I thought about the whispering, the weirder the concept became in reality). I might recommend this one as the format seems to have worked with a lot of people who rated this pretty high and there are many brilliantly written pages. For me, it came in just about average.

Audio The Whisper Man narrated by Christopher Eccleston

I thought it was suspenseful from the get-go and made me feel like I was playing the role of the abductor for a moment. My sub-conscience asking myself “Why are you lurking around this innocent little kid, you creeper?!” But at the same time I was hopeful that the situation wasn’t as grave as it appeared; that the abductor was rescuing the boy from a worse fate. *naive

The writing is done as though it were a screenplay, especially when it comes to transitioning from one chapter to the next. It keeps the pace of the reading going with a smooth and clever transition style; each chapter ending in an episodic way either not giving you enough of the answer you were looking for, forcing you to continue or ending in such a chilling manner that you have to continue to be able to go about your day! Ahhh… so basically it’s a quick read!

It starts out a little creepy, then gets scary, then terrifying!!!

The father-son duo is so sweet and grows stronger throughout the read. Both Tom and Jake, being so much alike, assume that the other doesn’t care for them as much as they’d hope. That the other is not giving them what they need nor communicating in a way that they can understand. Both eventually having to learn the hard way (the impossibly intense end-of-the-world hard way) that they really do love and truly feel the love from one another.

I cannot fathom the hurt of losing a young child, especially in such a horrific manner and this book had me rethinking my plans of procreation all together. I also think that it would be extremely creepy to read this as a parent – – steer clear padres. It’s about young boys being carefully selected then abducted by a strange man whispering to them in the night through their bedroom windows and luring them outside; hence the name The Whisper Man.

I tend to do most of my reading at night and circumstances had it that I spent most of this book’s reading solo. *Perfect timing, Universe! I love my scary stories but oh my God this one had me reeling. I literally caught myself hallucinating in the pitch black before I fell asleep at night and realized in the morning that I had tiny black book residue on my fingertips most likely from excessively gripping the cover so as to not be sucked in fully.

Kudos to Alex North who managed to create a gripping, perfectly paced, twisted story with incredibly beautiful and complicated characters. The names Featherbank and Carter will forever haunt me and my heart will most likely sink to my gut the next time someone whispers my name… yeesh! Equally, I fear that I may never see butterflies in the same light hereafter. Not necessarily in a worse light (with the exception of corpse moths) but in a different light with a new depth and appreciation. The appreciation stemming from the complete metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly; a process similarly found in the slow but dramatic development of the main characters lives and personas. They all grow through the hurt and emerge from their cocoons as their true selves.

I’m disappointed to say that I couldn’t finish reading the book, despite its numerous positive reviews. Normally, I enjoy suspenseful and crime stories, and initially, the book managed to capture my interest. However, as I delved deeper into the narrative, it gradually took on a gloomy and grimy tone, ultimately becoming quite depressing. I’m uncertain whether it’s due to the writing style, the plot itself, or simply my current state of mind. The title “The Whisper Man” evokes a sense of spookiness and excitement, leading me to believe it would be a perfect read for this time of year. Additionally, I noticed the story delved into themes of loss and relationships, extending beyond the initial focus on the missing boys.
