( ) Whisper of Evil 3 Stars A good premise but the poor character development and weak investigative process make this a mediocre addition to the series. The pacing is off as the buildup toward the climax is drawn out and tedious while the denouement is too rapid and anti-climactic. The romance reads like an afterthought. While Max and Nell have the potential for some sizzling chemistry, their past relationship is revealed in dribs and drabs, which makes it difficult for the reader to care about them one way or the other. In fact, the secondary romance between Shelby and Justin is far more engaging. In terms of the serial killer plot, other than the profile indicating that the killer is a cop (this is revealed at the outset so its not a spoiler), there are absolutely NO clues as to his or her identity because the secondary cast is not fleshed out AT ALL. Moreover, the psychic elements contribute very little to the investigation and the twist is predictable. Overall, not up to Hooper's standards. I love the Bishop / Special Crimes Unit books and this was the only format of this title I could find in the libraries. Interesting story of a girl who left a town to escape her family, becomes an FBI agent and has to return to deal with the aftermath. It's interesting and well done but there were times when I felt a bit lost in the mystery, the clues weren't there for me to see who did it. A lot of the character names sound different in my mind than they did in the narration, and occasionally hearing Gallagher read jarred a little (I know it's the outside Ireland pronunciation but it's a family name). The twists and turns of the story kept me listening and was a welcome distraction from some of the stuff my husband likes watching on TV. The small Louisiana town of Silence is anything but quiet these days. Four men in eight months have been killed and the townsfolk are afraid; they want the police to catch the killer quickly. The only problem is the police are totally stymied so the mayor has asked the FBI to come in. Kay Hooper's, psychic thrillers are always a delightful reading experience and "Whisper of Evil" is no exception. Characters from previous works lend a sense of continuity to the story line and readers will be glad to reunite with favorites who feel like friends. The plot is complex and has so many unexpected twists and turns that readers won't be able to predict what happens next. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
