The Whispering Room by Dean Koontz was given to me through Netgalley for an honest review. Thank you to author publisher and Netgalley.
The first thing I will say is that this is the second book in the Jane Hawk Series and in order to get a better understanding I suggest starting with The Silent Corner to get a much more well rounded idea of the plot and character that is Jane Hawk. While I inhaled the first book in the series I had a hard time finding my groove with this book. Deans construction is pure genus and flows easy I just felt as though poor Jane is constantly chasing someone to get somewhere and all the breadcrumbs have not been laid out yet for her to get to the end. I loved the cast of supporting characters they all added something different to the story. The story starts to take shape for me after we meet Cora.
After Cora Gunderson's spectacular suicide mission, Sheriff Luther Tillman begins to realize that somehow people are being controlled, it is important to note that the way these people are being controlled is an extremely interesting concept that makes him want to investigate He decides to go to Iron Furnace in a bid to find out what happened to Cora whilst she was there. Tillman and Hawk paths cross in Iron Furnace and they team up to rescue the children from the ‘school'. They transport the children to safety, then go their separate ways. I feel horrible for the sheriff yet I love him as a character. Once they part ways Jane continues her mission to get DJ Micheals into the Far Horizons building. I have a feeling that this series will continue in a third book so there for I will be giving this a 3.5 star rating waiting to see how the story progresses. All and all if you like Thrillers and enjoyed the first book give this one a chance.
