✅ REVIEW

This was a chilling and dark read. It is impressive that it is a debut novel, the author did a great job developing the characters and the story.

The recent disappearance of a child in a small town bears a frightening resemblance to the abduction and crimes committed twenty years ago by a now-imprisoned murderer. The detective that investigated the original case is assisting again.

At the same time, a single father is trying to go on with his life after his wife passed away, he is struggling with being a single father to a young boy, specially when his son starts acting strangely in their new home.

I was completely captivated by this book, there were some parts where I had to put the book down because the scenes were deeply disturbing, thankfully nothing graphic, just intense and suspenseful.

Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers of thrillers and mysteries.

This was a Traveling Sisters read and ARC was provided by the Publisher

Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man.
