Great, Creepy Read That You Will Not Be Able To Put Down!
20 years ago, five young boys were kidnapped and murdered in the town of Featherbank. The killer became known as The Whisper Man because his victims were known to have heard someone whispering outside their windows in the time before they were kidnapped. Although Detective Pete Willis was able to find the killer, Frank Carter, he never found the body of the 5th victim, Tony Smith. The case haunts Pete to this day and he still spends his time searching the town on his walks, hoping that he will be able to find Tony's body. Pete visits Frank Carter in jail once a year, hoping for answers that will most likely never come.
Now, Neil Spencer has gone missing and the town of Featherbank is facing its worst nightmare once again. Frank Carter is in prison but there was always a concern that he had an apprentice in the past. Detective Amanda Beck is living the same nightmare Pete Willis did 20 years ago and the case has brought Pete back to that time. Pete is drawn back in, hoping his experience can help Amanda create a different outcome this time.
Tom Kennedy and his son, Jake, have just moved to Featherbank for a new start after the death of Tom's wife and Jake's mother, Rebecca. It is immediately clear to Tom that this is not going to be the change they were hoping for. Jake's imaginary friend is back, Jake is saying scary things and behaving strangely and Tom senses an ominous presence in the house. As the characters are drawn together into a nightmare, secrets are revealed and the book hurtles toward a climactic finale.
This book was so creepy and terrifying that I had to stop reading it at night. I would have finished it in a day if I could have kept reading. I have to admit that I walked around checking the locks on the doors and peeking in on my sleeping children, while telling myself, "It's only a book. It's fiction." I was riveted from the first page and could not wait to reach the conclusion. This is a tough read if you're a parent but it is a phenomenal, suspenseful and disturbing story. 5-star read for sure.
