Product Description

Product Description
A beautiful woman scarred by a hateful past. A compassionate cop haunted by a childhood blighted by poverty. Violence brought them together. An unspeakable abomination may tear them apart. Bruno Frye nightly succumbs to the malicious lullaby of the whispers. Losing himself in the nightdreams of their rustling cries, he is deafened by whispers more piercing than any scream. In the dark recesses of his mind no act is too violent, no deed too shocking ...

About the Author
Dean Koontz was born into a very poor family and learned early on to escape into fiction. He lives in southern California with his wife, Gerda and a vivid imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Classic Koontz - But Brilliant all the same!, 14 Sep 2006
By Daniel Bassett (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As usual Dean Koontz's style of writing can become the main focus of why this book may be brilliant. As one reviewer has stated - this really isn't the type of story that you are used to reading by him. But I actually take this as rather refreshing!

This book, along with another of his books "Icebound" I feel are thoroughly understated, they are a different sort of story for the author - but his style still seems natural and as good as ever.

It was actually enough to kindle my interest in the subconcious, and I would particularly recommend this to anyone of similar mind. As this delves into areas such as suggestion and hypnosis - as well as several media scams involving subliminal advertising.

A brilliant read, and quite a lot more factual than most Koontz books!

4.0 out of 5 stars HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S BACK...!!!, 5 Nov 2002
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Whispers (Library Binding)
This is a highly suspenseful book, written in clear, spare prose. It is an easy read and a definite page turner. It is a plot driven book, however, with little character development.

The plot itself is simple. A beautiful screenwriter, Hilary Thomas, is confronted in her own home by an intruder named Bruno Frye. It seems that Mr. Frye has been stalking Ms. Thomas in the belief that Ms. Thomas is his long deceased mother, Katherine, who has ostensibly come back from the dead in order to kill him. He feels that he must kill her, before she kills him.

Of course, Ms. Thomas has no clue as to why Frye has singled her out. She is aware only of his murderous intent, and she is afraid, very afraid. On Frye's first go around with Ms. Thomas, she survives. On the second go around, Frye does not. Thinking herself to be safe, as Frye has seemingly gone to his maker, she is shocked when he, yet again, confronts her with deadly intent.

Why this is happening and how, will certainly keep the reader turning the pages. Some of it is predictable, but it, nonetheless, makes for an absorbing, easy read. This is one of the author's better, early efforts. Readers who enjoy suspenseful novels will not be disappointed.
