Book Synopsis:
If you leave a door half-open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken . . .
Still devastated after the loss of his wife, Tom Kennedy and his young son Jake move to the sleepy village of Featherbank, looking for a much-needed fresh start.
But Featherbank has a dark past. Fifteen years ago, a twisted serial killer abducted and murdered five young boys.
Until he was finally caught, the killer was known as ‘The Whisper Man’.
Of course, an old crime need not trouble Tom and Jake as they try to settle in to their new home.
Except that now another boy has gone missing. And then Jake begins acting strangely.
He says he hears a whispering at his window . . .
The Whisper Man is available in ebook and paperback now and in paperback on the 20th August 2019. You can purchase your copy of both using the link below.
My Review:
Oh my goodness this has to be one of the best books I’ve read for a long time. I found it incredibly hard to put down and tore through it in a few days, which is no mean feat when you’ve got three kids!
The thing I most enjoyed about this book was the fact it wasn’t a normal run of the mill crime thriller. Yes it was creepy and very unnerving at times but it was also touching and poignant which made for a fantastic read.
There were some great characters in the book who I quickly warmed to and cared about. Tom and Jake Kennedy, a father and son grieving the loss of their wife/ mother, were definitely my favourite. My heart just broke for them and everything they were going through. Their emotions were very raw and I wanted to just reach into the book to give them a hug.
This was a wonderfully paced book which had lots of twists to keep me firmly glued to the page. My love of Jake and Tom made me feel like I knew them personally and I had to keep reading to find out what happens to them.
Huge thanks to Jenny Platt for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. I thoroughly recommend this book and will be recommending it to everyone!
