The Whisper Man

Thriller with wonderful character development and relationships. It's packed with tense and scary moments, and a touch of paranormal/supernatural spooky stuff. And that's just superficially.

Going deeper, the story explores themes of father and son relationships, handling grief, and questions of self-worth and how parents affect your sense of self worth. These concerns touch all the major characters throughout the book. These themes are very heavily hit though, right on the surface and are not left subtle for the reader to discover through deeper thoughts.

Some of the plot elements wrapped up in a too-perfect way, and were too easily resolved for my taste, especially considering the overall dark tone of the book.
