A girl has gone missing and Colter Shaw is seeking the reward offered by the missing girl's father to help find her. Along the way, Colter discovered many things linking this to a sadistic game of The Whispering Man.
Who is the Whispering Man in this case? There were various suspects, and based on Colter's background, he likes to assign percentages based on how likely something is.
It was a really thrilling read, and it seems the end of the book is starting to introduce us to Colter's next adventure.

We're introduced to Aimee who is an aspiring actress, currently filming her first lead role in a major movie. We were then told she's gotten home after work to find her husband missing. She seems a bit concerned, but not overly upset. The police were called but they were highly suspicious and questioned everything.
Aimee went about her daily life as usual, going for her morning jog, and going to work. Everything seems normal, apart from the fact that her husband is missing. We're also shown glimpses of her childhood where some horrible things happened to her, and I must say some of those are really unpleasant to read about.
This book had me hooked and guessing at every twist and turn. When we neared the ending and we were shown some of the big reveals, there were loads of OMG moments. I can't say I loved the ending, but overall it was a well written book and I enjoyed the ride.
