Night Whispers by Author Matthew Pallamary is an interesting story blending crime and the occult. The main protagonist Nick Powers, hears a whispered voice after he suffers concussion following the crash of a stolen car that he was coerced into. He escapes from the crash but accidentally finds himself on the wrong side of the law, and so he must prove his innocence. But Nick is distracted by the mysterious whisperings that start up soon after, and the more he listens, the more he is convinced that the voice is connected to the sudden disappearances of the homeless, as well as a series of bizarre murders taking place.

The story moves at a good pace, with plenty of drama and tension to keep its audience entertained and turning the pages. The characters are credible and the dialogue is relevant. There are no significant issues identified that would distract and pull the reader out of the story. I enjoyed this standalone story from Author Matthew Pallamary and award a solid 4 stars.
