The Whisper Man - Book Club Read






5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GoodReads SummaryIn this dark, suspenseful thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town.

After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank.

But the town has a dark past. Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man," for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night.

My Review: A book club read that captivated me from the start. I must say that I was creeped out while reading this book, but that only proves the author did his job. Great plot and plot twists, great premise and how it was all connected. I posted to my fellow book club buddies that I was traumatized. That is exactly how a great psychological thriller should make you feel.

So Frank CAN see ghosts???? His mother as a child? Couldn't really be his imagination, she was telling him how to survive while with Francis and even warned him something bad could happen. Then Pete (his grandfather) yes Tom's drunk father turned out to be Pete. Anyway, Pete came to Jake after he died to give him peace and comfort.

So Frank Carter killed little boys because he hated his own son so much, but couldn't kill him. Then Francis grew up, and tried to comfort boys he thought were not loved. Of course he's a pyscho, so when they wanted to go home, he killed them.  Then in jail, Frank came to kill Francis. Super creepy ending.

I mean there are a ton more spoilers I can give away, but you need to read how it all fits together.
