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.

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.
