vkemp 's review for:

The Whispering Room by Dean Koontz
3.0

Jane Hawk, disgraced former FBI agent, uncovered The Hamlet Plot, a tool of a secret group called The Arcadians, who wish to destroy and subjugate people they regard as inferior or anyone who their computer algorithms have determined might be creative or bold enough to turn the tide of humanity. Jane's husband, Nick, was one of those people. Injected with nanobots that created a web in his brain, he committed suicide at the behest of The Arcadians. Now, Jane will rain down fire and hell. On the run and trying to discover a way to get to David James Michael, the head of The Arcadians, Jane uses and abuses many people. But along the way, she meets others who will stand with her.
I guess when you are Dean Koontz, no copy editor is allowed to trim your grandiloquent words. This book could have been 200 pages shorter with some strategic editing. I will continue reading the series to find out what happens because the plot is engaging, but know I remember why Dean Koontz is not one of my favorite writers.
