A review by miropo
Whispers by Dean Koontz

4.0

I could feel the tension rising and the anticipation of what was going to happens nagging at every turn. I knew what was happening long, long before the characters put it together. But I truly enjoyed the way they build it up, not just because I liked the way Koontz relished describing things and very secondary characters and their lives, but mainly because of the way he build up the psychology of the main characters, including the villain.
I like the idea of how he came to be (we as readers know who he is, but how he became this, was very interesting to me).
I love gothic novels, and seeing how the house by the cliff in this novel became so close to a haunted house was great. It became an entity in its own, and I wonder what other stories can be made with this setting already established… I’m sure this house would be haunted for everyone in that village.
