mellabella 's review for:
The Whispering Room
by Dean Koontz
So it seems I'm reading these in reverse order (3, 2, 1) . BUT in my defense I saw this one on super duper sale and couldn't leave it in the store.
Jane is a good character. She is smart, strong and fights for what's right.
This one was action packed as she goes after the very powerful men in charge of the organization that is getting citizens to kill themselves and others. Not just any citizens. Citizens who have the promise of making some sort of change.
That's not all they're doing. But one of the victims is Jane's husband. Her young son was also threatened. She can't take the risk that they will follow through on those threats.
Meanwhile in another pov, a school teacher of kids with special needs (Cora) has committed a crime that is very much against her nature. The police chief in the town where she lived (Luther) sets out to see what prompted her to do it. Knowing her for 20 years, he knows something isn't right.
Then their paths cross.
I did think the very end was anticlimactic. The chapters leading up to it were tense. Good use of chimpanzees too.
I'm wondering if Dean Koontz has been around teenagers and younger adults recently? I found the dialogue between Luthers daughters Twyla and Jolie unrealistic and dated. Almost like they were in a sitcom on the 80's.
At any rate, can't wait to read the first one!
