   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) jenjenreviews | Nov 20, 2024 |  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.” I should have loved this - but I set the wrong expectations. I was looking for a creepy, more horror driven book. This is not that - much more a mystery and thriller. The tagging is perfect and it's completely my fault for going in with different expectations. So I've settled my rating on 3 stars. It's actually a good mystery - full of twists and turns. I thought a few connections were a bit too....convenient, but all in all, it was interesting and I like the way it turned out (even if it did give me shivers at the end). (  ) Trisha_Thomas | Nov 14, 2024 | An intriguing and satisfying thriller which was chilling and atmospheric and really well written. A great read for the winter nights as this is a creepy and chilling tale. Still devastated after the loss of his wife, Tom Kennedy and his young son Jake move to the sleepy village of Featherbank and looking to make a fresh start. But this is a community with a dark past as Fifteen years previously a twisted serial killer abducted and murdered five young boys, The Killer was known as the Whisper man. As Jake and Tom settle into their new lives, the disappearance of another young boy comes back to haunt the community. A book with lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested some I bought into and others I had a little more difficultly believing. However, I did like the story and the characters were well drawn and this was one of those novels that keeps you guessing right to the end. My thanks to Penguinr and randomhouse for the opportunity to read this one in return for an honest review ( ) DemFen | Oct 31, 2024 | ) francogrex | Aug 31, 2024 | Perfect pacing, believable characters, spine tingling events, suspense.......its all here.

"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. Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumors that he preyed with an accomplice. Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man."-- No library descriptions found. |
