The Whispering Room is a Jane Hawk novel by Dean Koontz. I normally am not a fan of character novels. Many times I feel as if the author either does not provide enough information if you try to jump in the middle of a series or the author becomes lazy in writing about the character's exploits and forgets to grow the character in the story. This novel, however, is quite different! The first half does toggle between fast-paced and descriptive. However, the send half is definitely a "hold onto your hat" kind of book.
I have never read a Jane Hawk novel before and now I must! I love this lady! She is a strong female character who is smart, decisive, quick, strong, and definitely not a damsel in distress. Plus, she is a mother who loves her son more than anything else in the world.
Jane comes up against some extremely powerful people who have learned how to make anybody compliable, regardless of their socioeconomic or intellectual status. Jane has to figure out why and how they are doing this before they get to her and her young son. Along the way she is joined on her journey by a small town sheriff who uncovers what these powerful individuals are doing and has his own family to save, along with the rest of those who cannot protect themselves.
This is a fun story with an interesting premise. If you found a way to achieve world peace at the expense of free thought, would you do it? And if you did, who would you be willing to put in charge to make sure it stayed that way?
