A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen. His calling card is a “chestnut man” - a handmade doll made of matchsticks and two chestnuts - which he leaves at each bloody crime scene. Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery - a fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister’s daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered a year ago. A tragic coincidence - or something more twisted? To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man’s gruesome clues.

Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast.

Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

Publisher's Summary
2019 Amazon.com Best Books of the Year
"Listeners looking for creepy will find it in full force in Alex North's dark thriller, narrated by British actor Christopher Eccleston." (AudioFile magazine)
"Reader Eccleston...adds flavor to the tale. He reads with a fervor that gives the story a strong sense of suspense." (Booklist)
This program is read by acclaimed British actor Christopher Eccleston.
In this psychological thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of suspense, as a father and son are caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town.
After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son, Jake, heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank. But the town has a dark past.
Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man", for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night.
Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumors that he preyed with an accomplice. 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.
And then Jake begins acting strangely. He hears a whispering at his window....
Critic Reviews
"The Whisper Man is the most unsettling thriller I have read since Jo Nesbo’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 number one New York Times best seller The Silent Patient)
“There’s a soft voice outside your window and it demands your attention. The Whisper Man is coming. In fact, he’s already here. Get ready to be unnerved. This novel is thrilling." (Brad Meltzer, number one New York Times best-selling author)

I loved Christopher as Dr. Who, but he is seriously out of his element as an audio book narrator. His reading was very flat, and he made no effort to differentiate character voices. The story was just okay. overall I was disappointed.

I'm not whispering it, I'm shouting it, Great Book
I love this book. It usually takes me 5 chapters in before I'm hooked. Not this one, I was hooked right away. Right until the very end. I'm usually ready for a story to end, not this one. I missed it when it was done. I will be listening again.

So good!
I don't normally enjoy a mystery or thriller, but after reading such wonderful reviews of Whisper Man I had to give it a try (and I'm glad I did). The suspense runs throughout the story and is told wonderfully from several characters points of view. While it leaves room for a sequel, I don't expect that we will see one.

Relentlessly dark, subject matter disturbing
Just a short note. The book is very dark. Almost everyone is self loathing. I did listen through to the end for some sort of redemption. Didn’t really happen. A writer with writer’s block, a depressed alcoholic policeman, several very mentally sick suspects and a creepy old house. The story was quite unbelievable. Twists for twists sake. I felt overly manipulated.
But if you like dark twisty tales this is for you. I just found it very bleak. Christopher Eccleston is a fine actor but as a reader he was a bit monotonous. Won’t be listening to this one again.

Stands out among the many
A great psychological thriller that flew by. The characters were perfectly original and not overblown. I liked that it was not gory but still quite creepy. The story was believable and thoroughly absorbing right through to the end. Great for a buddy read.
