The Shadows By Alex North

Welcome to my review of The Shadows by Alex North ( Narrated by Hannah Arterton; John Heffernan)
 RED Hands EVERY WHERE,
YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE 


My thoughts
Rating:5
Would I recommend it? Yes , in fact I've been telling my friends that if liked or even loved The Whisper Man then their like or love this one as well
Would I read anything else by this author? Yes, in fact this is the second book by him that I've read, the first was his book The Whisper Man.
Would I listen to these narrators again : maybe 
First of I want to thank Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for giving me the change to listen to this as an audio book because as soon as I saw that NetGalley  had it as an Listen Now there was no way I could say no to that since I read and liked The Whisper Man and had been waiting to get my hands on this one to either read or listing to . And we have a winner, just finished it and wow ,it was like I was listen to a book that Stephen King might of wrote, it was dark, and creepy and twisted in ways that made it so much more spooky then the Whisper Man ever was. And it had me making setting on the edge of my set the enter time. 
As for the narrators themselves they managed to bring the story alive and give it a little bit something more in fact i would say it was how they conveying the eeriness of the story as well as making it even more haunting and chilling.

You knew a teenager like Charlie Crabtree. A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat.

Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and suffering from dementia, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home.

It's not long before things start to go wrong. Paul learns that Detective Amanda Beck is investigating another copycat that has struck in the nearby town of Featherbank. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago.

It wasn't just the murder.

It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...
