My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dean Koontz writes a very particular type of thriller -- heavy on suspense & detail, likely to feature a strong, ultra-competent woman, & free of cruelty to animals. I was in need of just such a reading experience, & wasn't disappointed by my journey through his forest of lost souls.
Although the villains this time around seem a little over the top at first, paying closer attention to current events may change the reader's mind. The plot is very up-to-date as well, with references which may or may not age well. For a fast & oddly comforting read in a dark season, however, it's well worth picking up -- or, even better, borrowing via Kindle Unlimited. Recommended.
