First, it must be said that I am a huge fan of Alex North and enjoyed his first novel as well.
This novel reminded me of a scary ghost story someone told around the campfire. You know the ones, "Yeah my friend knew this guy that this is about..." kind of story. It is creepy and will keep you guessing right up until the end when your mind is blown. Paul has many regrets about going home, and the murder of his friend is just one of those regrets. This book has it all, copycat killing, a creepy vibe throughout the whole thing, and a wonderful jump back in time to get the whole story. I loved it. I am not sure if I loved it as much as The Whisper Man, but it is 3.5 stars rounded to 4 because I devoured it in a day!
