while i don't believe this is a five star book, i do think it was a good suspenseful thriller. You will figure some things out, and others will surprise you. There was just one section that had me a bit confused...but won't spill the beans here.

3 1/2 stars. The first half of THE WHISPER MAN rated 3 stars, the second half 4.

The mystery in this book is good. Tom Kennedy and his young son Jake are learning how best to live since Rebecca, Tom’s wife and Jake’s mother, died. So they decide to move to a house that will not remind them of Rebecca, especially Jake’s memory of his mother's body at the bottom of the stairs. It is their move to that particular house that involves them in the mystery of the whisper man.

In the city where Tom and Jake have moved, the whisper man has taken the lives of several young boys. The body of one of the boys killed 20 years ago has never been found.

The whisper man of the 20-year-old crimes has been found and is now in prison. But he seems to have had an accomplice, although he will not say so or indicate who it is. Is this other whisper man now coming for Jake?

Even though this mystery is good, I did not find it spooky, as other reviewers have, and the first half of THE WHISPER MAN is not thrilling and too easy to put down. Mysteries and thrillers should be unputdownable books.

A young father, Tom Kennedy, decides to move and make a new life for himself and young son, Jake after the sudden death of his wife. They move to the town of Featherbank where twenty years ago a serial killer was preying on young boys. Jakes is hearing voices and once again boys are going missing, Jake is taken and Tom must uncover what is going on before it is too late.
Overall this is a good thriller, but in parts a bit confusing, especially concerning his wife’s life when she was a child and his relati9nship with his father (who has a different last name).
