This book pulled me in immediately and did not let go. It was so creepy and I was dying to know the identity of The Whisper Man. I wanted to know so much that I stayed up until after 2 am reading because I could not put it down.

This debut novel is a fast-paced thriller, but also packs so much relational punch with our main characters dealing with grief and learning how to relate to each other better. It centers around a serial killer from 20 years ago and new kidnappings/killings happening despite the fact that the serial killer is in jail.. Given the heaviness of kidnapping and killing children, the author does a great job of alluding to the violence but not going into graphic detail of the violence which creates a scary story but not one that gave me nightmares.

For a thriller, this had the perfect balance of heart, relatable characters, pacing and psychological thriller plotlines.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one and give it 4.5 stars.
