A dazzling new series debuts with a remarkable heroine certain to become a new icon of suspense, propelled by the singular narrative genius of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz. "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 void that remains stands his widow, Jane, surrounded by questions destined to go unanswered . . . unless she does what all the grief, fear, confusion, and fury inside of her demand: find the truth, no matter what. There is no one else to speak for Jane's husband-or the others who have followed him into death at their own hands. Although people of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have recently been committing suicide in surprising numbers, no one else is willing to give up everything, just to seek, to find, to know. No one except Jane. But ahead lies only risk. Because those arrayed against her are legion . . . and dangerously devoted to protecting something profoundly important-or terrifying-enough to exterminate any and all in their way. Too many have already died, and those responsible will learn that all their malevolent power 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.

So, so good. Just, exciting and full of intrigue and the best and worst of humanity. So good. The whole series is wonderful. ( )

I was given an advanced copy of The Whispering Room by Dean Koontz and in order for me to properly start that I had to read the first one. I use to go back and forth between Dean Koontz and Stephen King when I was younger they were my favorite and I have to say I LOVED this so much that reading over 400 hundred pages in one day came easy.
For me, this is Dean Koontz at his best. Jane Hawk is the main character. She is an FBI agent on leave after her husband commits suicide. He leaves a note "I need, I need, I need to die." This sets her on a mission to discover the why of her husband's death. During her research of suicides, she comes across the fact that suicides are rising at an alarming and steady rate. Happy, purposeful people are committing suicide. Her commitment to finding and uncovering the truth makes this novel relatable and easy to read. This book makes me eager for the next one. hands down an awesome book. ( )

This is a new series by Koontz and it pulls you in immediately. Narration is also excellent.

FROM AMAZON: "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 void that remains stands his widow, Jane, surrounded by questions destined to go unanswered...unless she does what all the grief, fear, confusion, and fury inside of her demand: find the truth, no matter what.

There is no one else to speak for Jane's husband - or the others who have followed him into death at their own hands. Although people of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have recently been committing suicide in surprising numbers, no one else is willing to give up everything just to seek, to find, to know. No one except Jane. But ahead lies only risk. Because those arrayed against her are legion...and dangerously devoted to protecting something profoundly important - or terrifying - enough to exterminate any and all in their way.

Too many have already died, and those responsible will learn that all their malevolent power 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. ( )

I accidentally read the second book first, but that did not detract from this story in the least.
Absolutely riveting, and giving a lot more insight into Jane Hawk.
I will definitely be following her path to the end, and I sure hope that she carries on to kick butt the way she did in this and the second book. ( )

Jane Hawk woke in the cool dark and for a moment could not remember where she had gone to sleep, only that as always she was in a queen- or king-size bed and that her pistol lay under the pillow on which the head of a companion would have rested had she not been traveling alone.
