Review:
North has brought in quite an eclectic mix of characters; a bereaved father and son, an ambitious detective, a stone-cold killer and a former alcoholic who continues to fight his demons. Dealing not just with the case of the missing boy but also with Tom and Jake's journey, 'The Whisper Man' is not a book you will want to read at night by an open window or door. With just a hint of menace and the suggestion that someone is the other side of the glass is enough to want to shut the windows tight. With an unexpected ending, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. 'The Whisper Man' is easy to read and well written. An excellent creepy novel from Alex North and another name to go on my 'list of authors not to be missed'.
