This one isn’t your typical crime thriller. It’s unsettling, chilling, and deeply psychological. The story begins with the discovery of six severed arms belonging to five missing girls… and from there, it spirals into something much darker.

Carrisi doesn’t just write about a crime—he digs into the human psyche, evil, and how darkness can live closer than we think. The atmosphere is tense, claustrophobic, and at times genuinely disturbing.

If you’re looking for a light mystery, this isn’t it. But if you want a crime novel that challenges you, shocks you, and lingers long after you close the book—The Whisperer is unforgettable.
