If you leave a door half-open, soon you'll hear the whispers spoken...
Fifteen years ago, a serial killer known only as 'The Whisper Man' wreaked havoc on the sleepy village of Featherbank.
But with the killer behind bars, the village is now a safe haven for Tom and his young son Jake to make a fresh start.
Until another boy goes missing. It feels like history is repeating itself.
Could the killer still be out there - and can Tom protect his son from becoming the next victim?

A rather standard bearer for that ubiquitous atmospheric thriller fashion. The emotionally laden father-son dynamic... it rather reminded me of the amateur performances in my son's drama club at his Montessori. Anticipating the plot was as straighrforward as spotting falsehoods on a nanny's CV. It reads fluidly, I’ll grant it that. Ideal for flight delays or while waiting at the hairdresser’s. Don’t expect more.

I was so interested in this book from the free sample, I ended up buying it. The book was great for about 3/4, but ended up.. blah. I was promised a story with a serial killer, dead kids and a dose of the supernatural. However, there is no supernatural, which was a huge selling point for me, instead, got the bog standard tired trope of a killer that likes to taunt cops.. :: yawn::
