The Whisperer

Unexpectedly Wonderful

I am a voracious reader. I own more than 2,000 books and have read in my lifetime many, many more. I have read great books, like this one, and very, VERY rarely do I ever review or comment on a book. But when I do, you can take it to the bank (or to Barnes & Nobel) and BUY THIS BOOK. It was a terrific and unexpectedly wonderful book. I loved it. Not a formula book type in sight, terrific characters, and mesmerizing to the very last page.

Fun Read!

The Whisperer is one of those books that you hate to put down. I wasn't sure if it would be good because I had never heard of the author but I was not disappointed! Lots of twists and turns for those who love a great mystery!

I read Carrisi's first book, The Whisperer, after reading his second one (Il tribunale delle anime--The Souls' Tribunal) which was published recently in Italy and is not yet available in English translation. I so much liked the second book that I decided to read his first one as well. While The Whisperer is still a good book, I prefer the second novel to which I give 5 stars. Just to be clear, the two books have no connections, are two different stories with different characters, and the second book is less "gruesome" in my opinion than the first one.

Exceptional

While there are a few awkward editing moments typical of a complex first novel, the story is indescribably disturbing and unpredictable. Although the gruesome murders consistently inspired a heightened level discomfort, I couldn't stop reading and loathed the inevitable conclusion. I highly recommend for readers with a strong stomach and ability to rise above a normal level of empathy.

very good book

This book was a very good read.
It had many interesting twists and turns. Kept me in suspense throughout the story. I look forward to another Donato Carrisi book.
I would recommend this book to any one who enjoys a true mystery.

Sorry I bought it.

I am sorry I bought this book. Overall, I was very disappointed that, although the setting was supposed to be Italy, it could have happened anywhere. There was no feeling of place. The body count is over the top, and the descriptions of the gruesome ways children are killed was too much for me. I suppose the severed arms should have warned me off, but I mistakenly thought that would be about the worst. Maybe it was the translation. The end of the book hints there will be more coming, but not for me.
