North spins a tale so chilling and real it'll make your skin crawl and keep you looking over your shoulder, locking your doors and watching your kids closely. Father son relationships propel this mystery through a series of surprises and intricate detail to lead you to an overall satisfying ending.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 4 stars

Okay, so while this didn't give me the spooky/scare factor I was looking for and expecting (.5 star deduction), it was definitely thrilling.

I loved the father/son dynamics and while it was mostly predictable I still found myself plowing through the audio.

The audio was well done but I would have enjoyed it more with multiple narrators for the multiple POVs (the other .5 star reduction).

“If you leave a door half open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken.
If you play outside alone, soon you won’t be going home.
If your window’s left unlatched, you’ll hear him tapping at the glass.
If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.”
