The Whispering Woods is a culmination of my education in criminology and victimology and my experiences in counseling. Of all novels, this one in particular is different from my previous books. It is a murder mystery. Though the majority of the book is fictional, the details regarding serial killers are fact. Certain characteristics are defined and described based on interviews with those who had an appetite to kill and the means and measures they used to conceal their crimes. As the story unfolds, everything is up for grabs. Nothing is definitively resolved. While there are hints that identify the killer, it is for the reader to decide.
