Synopsis

Jane Hawk-fiction's most relentless, resourceful, stunning new heroine-continues her battle against a murderous conspiracy in the riveting sequel to The Silent Corner. "No time to delay. Do what you were born to do. Fame will be yours when you do this." These are the words that ring in the mind of mild-mannered, beloved schoolteacher Cora Gundersun-just before she takes her own life, and many others', in a shocking act of carnage. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane. But Jane Hawk knows better. In the wake of her husband's inexplicable suicide-and the equally mysterious deaths of scores of other exemplary individuals-Jane picks up the trail of a secret cabal of powerful players who think themselves above the law and beyond punishment. But the ruthless people bent on hijacking America's future for their own monstrous ends never banked on a highly trained FBI agent willing to go rogue-and become the nation's most wanted fugitive-in order to derail their insidious plans to gain absolute power with a terrifying technological breakthrough. Driven by love for her lost husband and by fear for the five-year-old son she has sent into hiding, Jane Hawk has become an unstoppable predator. Those she is hunting will have nowhere to run when her shadow falls across them.

Goodreads review by JanB on January 23, 2023

The book opens with Cora Gunderson, a schoolteacher from Minnesota who inexplicably embarks on a horrific murder-suicide mission. It’s clear her actions were not her own and there was a form of mind control that led her to do what she did. Even more disturbing is there seems to be an epidemic of mur......more

Thanks to Bantam Books/Random house for this ARC. Also thanks to Dustin Crazy little brown owl - moderator of Koontzland - the definitive Koontz Goodreads group - for hosting the giveaway. I say ARC even though it came out two weeks ago, but I got it just a couple of days before the release so I am......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on November 29, 2017

Time for a confession: I’ve never read a single book by Dean Koontz. I started The Face once, long ago, and never finished. Maybe it’s time to revisit that book. The Whispering Room is a sequel to Koontz’s first Jane Hawk book: The Silent Corner. I should have picked it up while it was on sale a coup......more

Dean Koontz knocks another one out of the park! It's so crazy! I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, rooting for Jane to succeed against insurmountable odds and hoping for the bad guys to lose. This man LIVES and BREATHES SUSPENSE! I don't really want to say anything that will spo......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on October 24, 2017

When I finished The Silent Corner, the first book in this series featuring FBI agent Jane Hawk, I loved it so much that in my review I urged the author to hurry up and finish the next one sooner than scheduled. He must have heard me, since he beat that original date by a couple of months. And oh boy......more
