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.
Really enjoyed this read. Felt like I was on the edge of my seat for much of it and the author did a really good job with the father / son dynamics. Didn’t have to wait for all of the mysteries to be unleashed until the end - there were some throughout. The premise is every parents worst nightmare tied into family feelings and dynamics that keep you wanting to understand more. Spooky and a bit chilling. Be sure to lock your doors tight!!
Humanity at it's truest, this character-driven narrative is heart-wrenching. With characters of all ages, normal people, average people, people trying their damnedest just to be better versions of themselves. Then pair that with a parent's worst fears and you have the Whisper Man. A compulsive read that grabs from page one, evokes your heart with love and fear and wraps the ending up with promise and retribution.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 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.”
