From The Corner of His Eye🍒🍒🍒🍒
By Dean Koontz
2006
A Good vs. Evil suspense thriller that weave the lives of 3 people together, and reminds us that the greatest fear we can have, is fear itself.
Bartholomew Lampion is born in the mid 60s, his father is tragically killed in an auto accident racing his wife, who is in labor, to the hospital...
50 miles away, in Oregon, Junior Cain, a successful and popular physical therapist working with accident and stroke victims, inexplicably shoved his beautiful wife off the top of a 150 ft. forest watchtower.....there is no reason, he just felt it....
Near San Francisco, a 16 year old gives birth to a daughter she calls Angel. Her pregnancy is result of rape.
Junior is the rapist of the 16 year old, and the father of Angel. But Junior believes his nemesis is a Male named Bartholomew. He will stop at nothing to find him. Believing he killed the Detective who suspects him of rape, he is a madman...on the run...
This is such a great book. It reads like a true life crime, the characters are so well developed. This has to be one of his best novels!!
Recommended.

I struggled with this book despite the fact that I enjoy DK’s style of writing. I found it to be too long, dragged a lot and then I felt the ending was rushed

so much hope (even if naive) in this book. overcoming evil pushing it away letting love and ligjt and happiness win even whilst living with grief. the biblical references do feel a bit forced but i’ll let it sit.
