I didnt like the narrating. It just didn't fit with the content and general atmosphere of the story.

Great story

Incredibly strong atmosphere, gets under your skin... Can't stop listening, no idea where he's taking you with the narrative. Surprising and unsettling.

Unusual and eery.

I found this story to be great at keeping my interest. It is easy to immerse yourself in the story and just go with it all. There were certain twists that were easy to spot but overall I lived it.

Very disturbing subject matter and the descriptions at time are pretty horrific.

The reading was excellent, it moved at pace with some good voicing which kept my attention.

Would recommend this, it's awesome.

Brilliant from start to finish..

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I wouild if they liked criminal & thrillers, because this is certainly a thriller from start to finish.
But you realy need to listen very carefully. I have had to go back to listen to parts I missed,or you loose the thread of the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Whisperer?

The story gose up & down all the time so it is difficult to pick one bit.

What about Saul Reichlin’s performance did you like?

I have listened to this narrator before, he always manages to change character very well so you don't notice a man playing a woman,excelent,

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's about evil and children, who would not be moved about the whole situation.
It's about the people who try to stop this evil, and how they are affected.

Any additional comments?

Although this is about the worst of crimes,and at first i was not sure I wanted to listen to it ,but as I have said it is also about the characters who work on these situations,and how it affects them.

one of the best books of its kind i have listened

I was looking for new author to listen to. Interesting plot but different plot lines not fully explained before moving on. Narrator was good but needs to separate his characters voices better. Sometimes very confusing listening to dialogue to know which character is speaking Overall worth a listen.

Interesting new author
