Oh my goodness, I could NOT put this book down. I loved every aspect of this book. There were so many twists and turns throughout the book. I loved the switches of perspective (the 1st person perspective of Tom, the main character, and 3rd person when we looked through the scope of the other characters).
If you're a big fan of crime thrillers, this book is for you for sure.

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
⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 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.”
