"Alex North weaves a stunningly captivating narrative that's a
nuanced and grounded exploration of father-son relationships...a
master class in genre exploration. An incredible read."
--Joe and Anthony Russo Early Praise for The Whisper Man: "The
Whisper Man is the most unsettling thriller I have read since Jo
Nesbø's The Snowman. Much more than the sum of its parts, it is
nightmarish and disturbing and, at the same time, a moving and
life-affirming novel about fathers and sons, and grief, loss, and
recovery.
--Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The
Silent Patient "Brilliant...an affirmation of the power of the
father-son relationship...will satisfy readers of Thomas Harris and
Stephen King."
--Booklist, Starred Review "A terrifying page-turner with the
complexities of fatherhood at its core."
--Kirkus Reviews "A powerful and scary story that will haunt
readers long after the final page is turned."
--Library Journal "First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's
terrifying. And then... well, dear reader, proceed at your own
risk. An ambitious, deeply satisfying thriller--a seamless blend of
Harlan Coben, Stephen King, and Thomas Harris. My flesh is still
crawling."
--A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in
the Window "Get ready to be unnerved. This novel is thrilling."
--Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Beautifully
written. Beautifully plotted."
--C.J. Tudor, bestselling author of The Chalk Man "Beautifully
crafted, heart-rending and spine-tinglingly chilling, The Whisper
Man is a thrilling tour de force."
--Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her
Eyes "The best crime novel of the decade."
--Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of The Defense
