Joy Ohagwu’s Christian suspense novel, Whisper: A Christian Romantic Suspense (The Pete Zendel Series), not only has the reader grasping the arm rests as the plot thickens, but also challenging and reasserting their own principals of faith and Christian fellowship. This book is a prequel to a very lengthy series of suspense novels. It introduces characters which will play important roles in the series. The characters are well developed with a key focus on their Christian faith, or lack of it, and how their beliefs project their lives forward as well as assist in the developing plot. The story is full of action-packed confrontations as the characters play out the suspense surrounding this mysterious invention known as The New Rulebook, an invention that has the potential to control the world – and not in a positive way. A powerful story with a very strong plot!
