About this listen

"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.

Couldn’t stop listening

Well read and up to Koontz’s usual standard of suspenseful rollercoaster narrative! Now for the next one...

Finally fantastic!

Having been a massive Koontz fan for years, I had been so disappointed with his last few novels that I had practically given up on him.
As this book had good reviews I decided to give it a go and I’m so glad I did! The book is fast paced with good characters and an almost (well, you never know) believable plot!
The narrator is ok but it did go to check my phone a few times because of the ridiculous long pauses between chapters but the story makes up for that!
Definitely worth it!!!!

I almost gave up on this book.

With the narrative pausing every few minutes to announce a new chapter I was losing interest. But I'm glad I stuck with it because it quickly became a very interesting story.
Thankfully it's only fiction, - or is it !

disappointed

For a Dean Koontz the story was just about ok, maybe it would have been better with a different narrator, as I found the narrator quite wooden.

Hooked From The Start

Wow, so good. I have come back to the first book to put my review as listened to the whole series back to back and could not stop listening. Jane Hawk you are amazing, I am sad there are no more books. Can not recommend enough 😀

Disappointed in ending

Would have liked to know how this ended - not to be left wondering what happened next….

Interesting but not gripping

An enjoyable story but not gripping in the way that many Dean Koontz books have been. The plot needed more depth, twists and turns. Left me feeling a little disappointed.

It’s compelling but gets a little slow Nevertheless it’s a good thriller

Narrator wasn’t the best on some voices that changed throughout the story but didn’t ruin the story at all
