Title: The Whisper Man
Author: Alex North
Publisher: Celadon Books
Rating: 📖📖📖/ 5
This score is probably rounded up. I don't even know what I want to give it because I was so thoroughly unimpressed and bored. And I really, really wanted to like this book.
I'm going to keep this short because I hate writing thoroughly negative reviews. Overall, it was a decent book. The writing was run of the mill, but not terrible. I can hardly call it a thriller as there was almost no thrill in the story at all. It is more of a study about father-son relationships than a murder mystery. There were a few spots where I found myself quickly reading to find out what happened next, but those moments were shadowed by moments where I just wanted it to end. And I wanted a gripping story...but I didn't get it! Sigh.
It took forever to read this book but I'm glad I finished it.
Pick it up if you want a book with some creepy elements and a story of the bond between son and father, but don't go into it expecting wonders. At least in my opinion.
