Dean Koontz might as well have invented the term "thriller." Your heart starts racing as soon as you see his name on a title and Whispers is no exception.

Another Dean Koontz winner! Usually I do not like books with a lot of romance in them. (If I wanted romance, I would read romance!) But this one is well written and pulled me in. I laughed, I cried, I thanked God for my healthy happy relationships. A page turner right up until the climax on page 498 of 502!! Trust me, you really don't want to know what the whispers are.

A beautiful screenwriter, Hilary Thomas, is confronted in her own home by an intruder named Bruno Frye. It seems that Mr. Frye has been stalking Ms. Thomas in the belief that Ms. Thomas is his long deceased mother, Katherine, who has ostensibly come back from the dead in order to kill him. He feels that he must kill her, before she kills him.

Of course, Ms. Thomas has no clue as to why Frye has singled her out. She is aware only of his murderous intent, and she is afraid, very afraid. On Frye's first go around with Ms. Thomas, she survives. On the second go around, Frye does not. Thinking herself to be safe, as Frye has seemingly gone to his maker, she is shocked when he, yet again, confronts her with deadly intent.

In a possible predecessor to False Memory, Koontz explores the ways in which a fragile psyche can be shaped and molded--and how unbroken minds find strength in love.
