Tom and his young son Jake, move into a sleepy village in search of a new start after the death of Tom's wife. But Tom moves into a place called Featherbank and he moves there because his son picked out a strange house from the internet. Featherbank has a dark past where, fifteen years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five young boys. The killer was finally caught and put behind bars. He is known locally as The Whisper Man. Soon after Tom and Jake move into Featherbank, another boy goes missing and the whispers start again. I loved this plot, it had me hooked with the tension and the twists and turns, I couldn't put it down until I knew everything. It is written in the third person point of view, except for Tom who tells the story from first person. I guess because he drives the story forward and it works this way. Little Jake, however, stole the show for me. This is a brilliant piece of writing from a child's perspective. I also loved DI Pete Willis who caught the original killer at a huge emotional cost to himself. This book is not just a scary, creepy story, it also explores the themes of father-son relationships, grief, and loss. A great compelling plot with plenty of cliff hangers and twists and turns. A great read and will make a brilliant film.
