I loved this book! Thrillers are not my number one genre and especially those with gratuitous thrills. That is not this book. The plot was inventive and extremely engaging with one hell of a reveal mid-book that had me yelling, “WHAT!?!? WHAT!?!? WHAT!?!?” There are parts I would recommend NOT reading at night. Ultimately a book about fathers and sons, it is an excellent murder mystery involving a serial killer, children, a small town, an empathetic boy, his widowed, haunted father, and reconciliation. Do not miss this one!! #TheWhisperMan #NetGalley #CeladonBooks

I wasn't crazy about this book and unfortunately, a three-star rating is a little generous.

I thought the book was good, it held my interest which many times is hard.

This was unputdownable and the quest to find my way through the suspense consumed my life. I work full time and am a mother of 3 + a husaband...and I still finished the book in 4 days.
