Kate’s 2¢: “The Silent Corner “;” The whispering room”; “The crooked staircase”; “The forbidden door” by Dean Koontz

“The Silent Corner “;” The whispering room”; “The crooked staircase”; “The forbidden door” by Dean Koontz

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

I think it was in 2017 that I received the NLS cartridge titled “The Silent Corner” by Dean Koontz. I read it and sent it back. Then, a few months ago, I received a story that rang a bell. The characters  sounded very familiar  and I was off on a search to find more Jane Hawk stories. I found “The Silent Corner “;” The whispering room”; “The crooked staircase”; “and The forbidden door”.

I was amazed at how many books Koontz has published. Among the many descriptors of Dean Koontz’s works are:  Suspense Fiction, Psychological Fiction, Mystery and Detective Stories, adventure, and, of course, Bestsellers.
