I loved the storyline of Tom’s struggling relationship with Jake in the wake of Jake’s mother’s death. Alex North is turning out to be a master of the creepy-kid theme!
All of the plot points were carefully thought out and satisfyingly wrapped up in the end. This was another example of a perfect thriller: fast-paced, intriguing, creepy, and suspenseful. I’d seen that The Whisper Man was rated even higher, and I can’t help but agree.
I picked up The Whisper Man on the heels of The Shadows, which I absolutely loved. The little girl that Jake speaks to is his mother, from a photograph he found of her and anthropomorphized. Tom and Jake begin to be able to open up to each other. Pete dies due to the injuries from his fight with George. He had taken Jake “to protect him”, but was also crazy. He was the son of the original Whisper Man, and had seen the horrors his father committed. The current Whisper Man was the teacher’s aide at Jake’s school, George.
