The Whisper Man by Alex NorthMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lately I seem to be "reading a theme." Though not consciously intentional, much of what I've read lately has dealt with crimes against children. So too, THE WHISPER MAN, with its foundation of murders of children occurring two decades ago, resulting in the killer's capture and imprisonment; and now, a new child abduction, clearly not by the incarcerated earlier killer. Is it in honor of his exploits, or opposed?
This novel also carries a strong foundational theme of Fathers and Sons, exemplified in several instances, and I think that perhaps this is the stronger and more powerful of these two foci, even overshadowing the theme of child murder.
