The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz

I’m afraid this is one Koontz novel I wouldn’t recommend, unless perhaps you love dogs. I think the main problem was that I didn’t really care that much about any of the characters so the whole thing left me feeling a bit cold. With each of his number-one New York Times best-sellers, Dean Koontz has displayed an unparalleled ability to entertain and enlighten listeners with novels. I struggled to get into this book and I was wondering whether it’s because I’m not a big dog person? Nothing against dogs and I don’t have any issue with them, I just don’t feel an affinity with them so maybe that was what I felt was missing.Īlso it was a touch too supernatural for me.Īs the book prgressed the story got more and more nonsensical, which I appreciate isn’t a great criticism when you’re talking about a supernatural thriller. But now theres no one to save Amy and those she loves. From its breathtaking opening scene to its shocking climax, The Darkest Evening of the Year is Dean Koontz at his finest, a transcendent thriller certain to have readers turning pages until dawn. Her boyfriend Brian tags along on a call to one such dog but everything is not quite as it seems. The Darkest Evening Of The Year was next up for me to read and it tells the story of Amy Redwing – the owner of a charity that rescues abused and abandoned dogs. At last Amy understands her need of Brian, and a lot more that has been hidden by her passion.

I’m a big fan of Dean Koontz, some of his books are truly excellent and I have a bit of a back log to get through. If Greeley is the culprit, its clear hes not working alone.
