I recently discovered Whitaker's books and let's just say I haven't looked back since.
What you get with Whitaker is some wonderful broken characters with a purity of depth and soul, if you want to understand what I am very poorly trying to express here is please go read 'We Begin at the End'
(I am still recovering from reading that one so I have not yet felt able to write a review that will do it justice, yes Mr Whitaker you are that talented!)
So what makes this a good story?
Lets just be honest and admit we need to connect with our hearts as well as our minds when we read a book, we need to appreciate the subtle darkness and light of who we are becoming connected to. Whitaker does this effortlessly when he gives us Summer, Raine, Noah and Purv...and all the rest.
This is a crime tale with a difference, it is truly traumatic and at times unsettling in its character studies, but don't let that put you off.
Whitaker is a master of giving us what we don't realise we need.
Until the next time Mr Whitaker...
