Book of the Month costs $14.99 per month for a brand new hardcover book. You can also add on other books for $9.99 each.

There are five books to choose from that are hand-selected by a panel of judges. If you don't like any of the books you can skip the month and your credit will carry over to use at a later time.

For August I chose The Whisper Man by Alex North, which is a mystery/thriller about a serial killer. To be honest, the August selections weren't super exciting to me and I almost skipped before I saw this title.

I'm about halfway through the book so far and it's pretty good. It isn't the riveting page-turner I hoped it would be, but it's still sufficiently intriguing. Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

Told in alternating voices, Alex North's thriller The Whisper Man delivers strong twists and a truly surprising ending. A fresh start always seems like a good idea, but for Tom Kennedy and his son Jake, it doesn't go so well. When the two move back to Tom's hometown, their arrival coincides with the kidnapping of a boy who is Jake's age. The crime appears to have the hallmark of Frank Carter, a serial killer who terrorized the town twenty years earlier, and part of the novel is narrated by the cop who captured Carter decades earlier. The Whisper Man is spine-tinglingly creepy, and the suspense keeps building, layer by layer. Little reveals only serve to keep the reader guessing, and the end feels like more than a reveal--for me it was as if the entire atmosphere of the story took an unexpected and chilly turn. At first, the storyline appears to employ a familiar genre trope, but it veers wonderfully from the expected, and North's inclusion of a touching father-son relationship in this psychological thriller took it to the top of our best of the month list.--Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
