“Serial killer books are a horror staple. With Donato Carrisi’s The Whisperer, the genre is not only receiving a breath of fresh air; the book is taking dark literary thrillers to a new level.…A great, creepy, tension-filled thriller that keeps a frenetic pace for more than four hundred pages. Carrisi’s prose is sharp and his phrasing has a distinctive literary slant that helps make even the grisly portions of the novel a pleasure to read.”
