The Night Whispers by Caroline Mitchell
3.0
This is book 2 in the Slayton Thriller series and I have to say I preferred The Midnight Man. This one wasn’t as creepy which is what I loved about book 1. I also can’t get a handle on Sarah. She’s 40 years old but comes across as in her 20’s. She was also instrumental in solving a massive case and is now back to lacking in confidence and pretty much just canvassing the streets.
I do however love Elliott. He adds so much to the series and I just want to give him a big hug. I also adore Elsie and hate how her weight is constantly mentioned. Like we know she is overweight it doesn’t have to be the only thing talked about. I would also be fuming if I got the present she got when Sarah was treating her friends.
The intermittent covid mentions didn’t add anything to the story and just seemed a bit out of place. The middle of the book is slow going with not much happening and there are a lot of characters to keep track of. I am still a bit baffled by the ending and what happens with a certain character but I will definitely read any additions to the series.
I would say if you love creepy towns with a paranormal feel then definitely check out this series. Slayton is definitely a spooky place to live. I would recommend reading them in order though because it references things that happened in book 1 without explanation.
I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
