It starts out slow, but really starts picking up fast and connecting all the pieces.

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.
