Voices Carry

In this installment of the series, Doctor Wolfstone visits Jimmy Shepard on Death Row. The evidence against Jimmy is clear and overwhelming. But he claims not to remember killing anybody. Why does Doctor Wolfstone believe him? What does the hypnotist see in Jimmy?

Night Whispers by Joshua Scribner brings back the good Doctor Wolfstone, a hypnotist who helps patients remove demons from their lives. Jimmy has been hurt by cheating girlfriends over and over, which appears to be his motive for killing many happy couples. However, Wolfstone is able to determine Jimmy has been used by the same entity for years.

Once again, Scribner doesn't reveal much about the demon itself, which is a real shame. There isn't much revealed about the doctor either. I wish the author would include more about one or the other, or, better yet, both.

As always,
