The cover is very mysterious and I think it represents more than one aspect of the story. Murder mysteries are my favorite genre and I really enjoy experiencing a new author. My first impression is that perhaps this might be the first in a series. I have read books where the detective needs to visit someone in prison because of a current case and I always find it fascinating for a reader when the detective is forced to get inside the criminals mind. And in this book the mind of The Whisper Man......Creepy.
