I rarely read crime/thrillers but when the mood strikes I do love to find good mystery. I really enjoyed The Whisper Man. It wasn't as dramatic as some thrillers tend to be and I think the quiet normal-ness of the town and the lives of the characters who are dragged into the darkness makes it all the more eerie. It was easy to picture a man like Tom, or a quiet sensitive boy like Jake. I also enjoyed the inter-linking generational story that this turned out to be. It added layers that I wasn't expecting to the story and wove the lives of these three men together in an interesting way. 

I really enjoyed the author's narrative voice as well, it made for an easy read and I would like to read from Alex North again.
