3 1/2 stars.
The Whisper Man was a comfortable and easy read with a bit of creep factor and a little bit of a Silence of the Lambs vibe. I enjoyed the writing style in this book and found the plot to be interesting, but it just didn't have a wow factor for me. I don't know how to explain that. I enjoyed my read and appreciated the detail to the narrative. I did figure out the twist a bit early and it wasn't really groundbreaking, but I mostly enjoyed the journey there.

Wow .. amazing. This was my first read from author Alex North and it didn’t disappoint. This book is definitely what creepy urban legends are made of. I may have finished reading this book but the poem will stay with me for some time.
“If you leave a door half open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken.

If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you. ...more

A compelling book that I read almost in one sitting. The air of discomfort that it creates remains from beginning to end.
A father struggling to connect with his young son after his wife's sudden death, Tom Kennedy desperately hopes that a move to a new place,Featherbank, will improve his relationship with 7 yo Jake and get him writing again.

I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. I thought it was more of a mystery/serial killer type book. It spent way too much time on the dynamic between the main characters - father and son. And not enough time on the crime story. Bottom line, in my opinion it didn't live up to the hype.
