4.75/5 
This book had short chapters, quick pace, interesting characters and a good plot. I thought I had it figured out twice but I was wrong.  I felt like there was something missing from it but I’m not sure what… I can’t place my finger on it exactly but something kept me from giving it a full 5 stars.

3.0

The Whisper Man is a tough read; the topics and plot points are hard to digest, and everyone suffered quite a lot. That's not typically what I enjoy in my books. There was some hope, but these glimmers were far outweighed by the horrors the characters endured. The plot was easy to follow with a good trail of breadcrumbs to the final resolution. The audiobook narration was unconvincing but inoffensive.

Every chapter had something to offer and something that made you want to read more of the story. I liked how the book used every character to describe what was happening.

the most incredible, incapsulating crime novel i’ve ever read. definitely my favourite read of the year. it terrified me but i was so hooked. i picked it up randomly and i COULD NOT put it down. the plot twists were amazing and it was gorgeously scary!! i suddenly want to read every thing North has even published
