I won’t bore you with trying to rewrite a synopsis like I see a lot of reviewers doing. I will say that Alex North is an exceptional storyteller and legitimately gave me goosebumps a couple of times while I was reading The Whisper Man. I can’t say I was terrified, but it definitely made me stop to update my Goodreads status on the book to “oh. my. god”. (I almost never give an update on Goodreads). I’d say it was more creepy than anything (but I can’t really say why without spoiling anything).

The story was utterly heartbreaking at times and other times it gave me the warm and fuzzies. It really zoned in on how intricate and complicated the father/son dynamic can be. It has definitely made me stop to analyze familial relationships in my own life a little closer.

My favorite thing of all was how smooth the story played out. There were no plot holes, nothing was rushed. I’ll just have to slap North’s name on my favorite author list and not-so-patiently wait for his next book.
