Itβs a classic crime thriller but has a little bit extra with a supernatural feel to it.
The Whisper Man was a man who was arrested over 10 years previous for his awful crimes against children. He would lure the children by whispering to them, either at their window or if they were out walking, he would then abduct and kill them.Β
In present day the Whisper Man is behind bars BUT another boy is abducted with all the same characteristics of the whisper man, is this a copy cat or someone who worked with him?
What follows is a creepy novel that is really well written. I felt scared and worried at many points within the book and found myself not being able to read the book of a night when I was alone - I was scaredπ
The book is fast paced and keeps you guessing right up to the end!
