The Silent Corner is a brilliant introduction to a character I can only describe as intelligent, driven, and deep. She is brought to life by Mr Koontz's excellent prose and the paranoid perspective created by the events that happens all around her are enough to keep anyone awake late into the night.

As I write this I'm just a few chapters from the end of Book 1 and only put it away because I needed to get some sleep before heading in to work. As a writer I find Dean Koontz to be an inspiration in the field of genre writing (just like Kristine Kathryn Rusch) and will look forward to my eventual bankruptcy fueled by Amazon as it leads me to spend what little I have on otherwise delicious impulse buys.
