It’s been a while since I’ve read a Dean Koontz novel, so I joined the Library Challenge to encourage myself to catch up on some authors I have been missing. I am so glad I did and have already downloaded Book II, The Whispering Room.

MY REVIEW
I checked out The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz from the library and I am so glad I did. I love characters like Jane Hawk, who do what must be done when others are unable to stand for themselves.
Call her a vigilante? Maybe. Call her a savior? Well, she can’t save them all and she pays a huge price. It was the suicide of her husband that sets her on the hunt. She doesn’t believe it. She must find out for herself…WHY.
The hunter becomes the hunted, when those who want to keep the suicides secret find out she is on the hunt. She finds some unlikely allies as she struggles to stay one step ahead of those who want her dead.
I thoroughly enjoyed joining Jane Hawk on her wild adventure. It made me think…could this happen today? Nanobots…are they good or bad, or both? Someone always finds a way to take something good and make it bad and ‘they’ do it in a frightening way in The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz.
The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz is part of the Jane Hawk series and does not stand alone. Read in order of release.
I immediately downloaded The Whispering Room, Book II in the Jane Hawk series.
GOODREADS BLURB
Meet Jane Hawk—a remarkable new heroine certain to become an icon of suspense, propelled by the singular narrative genius of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
“I very much need to be dead.”
These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for—but took his own life. In the aftermath, his widow, Jane Hawk, does what all her grief, fear, and fury demand: find the truth, no matter what.
People of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have been committing suicide in surprising numbers. When Jane seeks to learn why, she becomes the most-wanted fugitive in America. Her powerful enemies are protecting a secret so important—so terrifying—that they will exterminate anyone in their way.
But all their power and viciousness may not be enough to stop a woman as clever as they are cold-blooded, as relentless as they are ruthless—and who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love.

I haven’t liked everything I’ve read from Koontz, but boy, when I find a book of his I like, I really, REALLY like it! I think my favorite of his is still Intensity (scary!).
yeah, i feel the same way. i like his old stuff better, but in the fourth book, the koontz i know and love makes an appearance. i am so hooked on this series, i have been devouring the books. BUT now i have to wait for my turn for the fifth book from the library. i am 31 on the wait list. 🙁
I have a couple of this author’s books and I always forget to read them! It’s so weird. I really need to pick one up though. So glad you liked this!
i always think i’ll get to him and the books end up waiting….and waiting….:-)
It’s always great when you pick up an author you used to love but haven’t read in a long time. Gives you that nostalgic feeling!
for sure. the last book i read, the city, i was very disappointed in, so i am glad to be back and lovin’ it.
Back when I read Horror, I read quite a few of his books and really liked them.
at least one of his books bombed for me, so i am glad i am back on track with jane hawk
I used to read all the Kootz books stored in my Mom’s bookshelf when I was a teen. I enjoyed them. I should try one as an adult..lol
i have a lot of his books on my bookshelf but it’s been a while. i saw this series and had to have it. i am hating waiting for book 5. i’m 31 on the wait list and these are loooooong books, so who knows when i’ll get it
I did not realize he had so many pen names.
me either and i don’t know why authors do that. i haven’t read any of his books under those names
Koontz is very hit and miss for me but when you write that many books, it’s no real surprise. Lightning is my favourite.
i don’t think i’ve read that one, but i’ll be checking
He is one of my favorite authors and it’s been too long since I’ve read his newer books. This sounds really good.
i know you love him and even got a letter from him. that was soooo cool. these are really long books and i think you need to read from the beginning, there are 5. did i say really long books. 🙂
