Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz “pulls out all the stops” (Publishers Weekly) in this haunting psychological thriller...

For thirty-five years, Bruno Frye has lived in the shadow of the adopted mother who made his heart beat with constant fear. And even though she died five years ago, the whispers still haunt him in the dark...enough to make him kill - and kill again.

Hilary Thomas is one of his intended victims. And she’s about to learn that even death can’t keep a bad man down...

Sure, why not?

What did you like best about Whispers? What did you like least?

It was decent, a little frustrating at times, but had a nice payoff.

Any additional comments?

It's a book. You read it, and then it's over.

Koontz Never Disappoints

Holy plot twists I never saw coming! One of few books I've reread, circa 1980. Just as thrilling this time around!

Meh

I was expecting to feel a little fear. Other reviews mentioned not being able to listen with the lights off. This book is not scary. Perhaps if I weren't expecting to feel a little fear, I'd feel different. The reviews also mentioned plot twists at the end which I don't understand. The story was pretty straight forward. I personally could have done without the sex. Honestly, you could say this is ridiculous romance.

Whispers

Many twists and turns! Surprisingly sensual for a Koons novel, but Very entertaining! Worth a listen. :-)

From beginning to end Nail biter!

This was an absolute nail biter. It kept me listening nonstop. The love story between Tony and Hillary was an excellent twist to the story. I highly recommend this book to all

A Little Slow

It as - in my belief - NOT up to the typical, anticipated Koontz standard. It WAS interesting and a BIT captivating / MYSTERIOUS However...

Roller coaster ride

This is a roller coaster ride that will keep you wanting more. It had a little of everything, from suspense, to romance, to terror, to explicit sex, to humor, and more. A great read!

Dean Koontz is a master

I read this the first time as a teenager. I loved it then. But now listening to the audiobook was so much better!! I loved Koontz.
