I picked up The Whisper Man on the heels of The Shadows, which I absolutely loved. I’d seen that The Whisper Man was rated even higher, and I can’t help but agree. This was another example of a perfect thriller: fast paced, intriguing, creepy, and suspenseful. All of the plot points were carefully thought out and satisfyingly wrapped up in the end. Alex North is turning out to be a master of the creepy-kid theme!

I loved the storyline of Tom’s struggling relationship with Jake in the wake of Jake’s mother’s death. The descriptions of how they both wanted to reach out and reconnect with the other but didn’t know how--man, I felt for both of them! Jake’s whole character was extremely well-developed, and I loved him and his realistic emotions.

Overall, The Whisper Man is definitely worth the hype it’s getting. I won’t reinvent the wheel by repeating what’s already been said, but it is definitely one I will be recommending!
