Whisper of Evil Evil Trilogy Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Kay Hooper Books Reviews

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 since their profile suggests that the murderer is a local cop.

Nell Gallagher ran away from Silence when she was seventeen, but has returned twelve years later to settle the family estate. Since she is also a FBI agent, she is able to work undercover without anyone questioning her motives. She must deal with rancher Max Tanner, who needs to know why Nell closed the door on their relationship to run away after they made love for the first time.

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. This is a one sitting read that will find its' way to the reader's keeper shelf.

I love the Bishop series! I can't get enough. If you haven't read any of them, please consider it. You won't regret it. I didn't read them in order, as each book is its own story, so you don't feel you have to start at "the beginning." If you like psychological horror/murder mysteries and the psychic realm, you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series! No regrets! Well, my only regret is Kay Hooper can't write them fast enough. hahahaha
The Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series is a paranormal suspense series that includes romances but at times drifts between wanting to focus on the romance and then pulling back, wanting to focus on the crime mystery but then pulls back. At times the books feel like there is a deep struggle for what the focus of the book is.

THE STORY Nell Gallagher returns to her hometown after the death of her father to settle the estate. It is not a good time to be in town because there have been four murders of prominent men who appear to have been killed because of secrets they possessed. It is quickly revealed that Nell actually works for the SCU and is in town undercover to help solve the murder. Her paranormal talent is that she can see scenes in locations that happened in the past and sometimes in the future. Her talent, however, makes her vulnerable because it takes a lot of energy. Returning has been difficult for Nell especially because of the presence of the man she left behind.

Max Tanner was in love with Nell as a young man and was puzzled and devastated when she abandoned him and left town. Now that she has returned, he has questions that he wants answered. But more than anything, he wants to protect Nell from the evil that is in town.

OPINION This book was so close to be a great read. The relationship between Nell and Max was great. I liked the angst between them and how they find their way together again. I was intrigued by such a close psychic relationship between a non-talent and a talent. Unfortunately, the trouble in the relationship is really about Nell keeping secret information about their pasts. For much of the book, the question is what happened to make Nell leave. By the time the information is revealed, I just didn't feel that disclosure satisfied the buildup. I was disappointed because I really liked the couple and wished that the book had embraced their relationship more.

The story of the murders was interesting, but there was no way that a reader could have guessed the identity of the murderer. At the same time, the story was very creepy and the investigation stretched Nell's abilities and I wanted to know the solution.

I did like the book, I just felt that it could have been great rather than just good.

WORTH MENTIONING I loved the cameo appearance of Bishop and Miranda. Their appearance makes every book better.

FINAL DECISION I have more mixed feelings about this book than my final decision. I would read this book again even though I was somewhat disappointed it. Nell and Max are one of my favorite couples of the series even though I wish there was more about their relationship development in this book.

CONNECTED BOOKS This book is the fifth book in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series. It can be read independent of the other books in the series although there are some overlapping characters.

STAR RATING I give this book a solid 4 stars.
Generally I find Ms. Hooper's books to be a good read. Sometimes they get a bit bogged down but I always finish them. There are a couple of things I find a bit annoying. First, so far in the books I have read, everyone of her main characters is a woman who is beautiful but small and fragile looking. I am starting to think that all women who are psychic must be 5'4" tall, weigh a hundred pounds and have pale skin.Basically they are all the sme woman in every book. Second, the scene hopping is aggravating. You're reading along and suddenly, part way through a chapter the scene changes, and then it changes again sometimes back to the first scene. I've had to back up several times to figure out where we are. Writing 101. A new scene goes in a new chapter. There is no reason she can't complete the whole scene and then move onto the next one instead of jumping around. Other than that these are pretty good for bedtime reading.
