The Whisper Man is somehow creepy yet sweet, relatable yet twisty, horrifying yet plausible. Setting a family drama in a house of secrets and against the backdrop of a decades-long police investigation, this is a well-rounded thriller that still haunts me in the best way.
Every lead character here is grieving something and doing their best. Jake and Tom are reeling from the loss of Rebecca, and DI Pete Willis still nurses his sorrow for his estranged wife of many years. Even the house in Featherbank, very much its own character, has seen its share of tragedy.
North will keep you guessing, and you’ll get to decide what to think—how much of the town lore to believe, how reliable Jake’s perspective is, whether a particular bump in the night is a dream.
