![]() ![]() The tension practically oozes off the page and the mystery of it all held me fairly spellbound. Couple this with a new investigation following a copycat murder in a nearby village and you have the makings of a tense, chilling and mysterious story. It appears that not everyone is happy to see Paul return and his steps seem to be shadowed. Twenty five years later his mother has suffered a fall and Paul travels home bringing back to the surface unwanted and painful memories. Paul Adams escaped his hometown following the death of a friend. Another friend, not involved in the murder escaped the village and never came back until his mother was taken to hospital following a fall. One of them seemed to disappear and one was brought to justice. Two school boys killed one of their classmates. It feels like Alex North has plenty of fresh ideas and can spin a creepy tale that seems to border on the supernatural without ever actually crossing the line. I really enjoyed the Whisper Man and so when I saw The Shadow Friend I knew I had to read it and I’m so glad I did. The Shadow Friend was another very good read from Alex North.
