Crime reporter Joe Carpenter lost his wife and two daughters in the crash of Flight 353. Joe is unable to work, think, or do anything but grieve, and wait for his own death. Then Joe meets Rose, a woman who claims to be the crash’s sole survivor. But before Joe can probe further, the elusive Rose slips away and Joe is left with haunting questions: If Rose lived through the crash, is it possible his family could have survived it, too? Did the authorities conspire to hide what really happened that night? Joe’s search for the truth will shatter him - and force him to question everything he thinks he knows about life and death.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

By: Dean Koontz
Publisher's Summary
A dazzling new series debuts with a remarkable heroine certain to become a new icon of suspense, propelled by the singular narrative genius of New York Times best-selling 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.

Suspense, well-written
Having been a Dean Koontz fan for over twenty years, I’m always glad to see him start a new series. And, yes, this is definitely Book 1 with more to come. Some issues are resolved, others are left hanging. The main character, an FBI agent on leave, is out to solve the mystery of her happy, well-adjusted husband’s suicide. It quickly becomes obvious that some sort of “mind control” is at work. Game on. The resulting search for answers is part suspense/thriller, part sci-fi. Lots of action, lots to think about.
Koontz does the lone searcher-after-truth as well as any writer on the scene today. Along the way, he introduces our heroine Jane to a steady stream of interesting (and well-written) people, some endearing, others revolting, some of whom are mere “walk-ons”, while others hang around. The main characters don’t live in a closed universe. Kind of like real life — you meet someone in a strange town, interact for a few minutes or maybe an hour, and odds are you’ll never see them again. And sometimes the odds are wrong, but usually not.
I read or listen to Koontz as much for his prose as for his plots. Lovely descriptions and an SAT vocabulary. (Who else can use the word “deliquesce” in such an unselfconscious way?) He doesn’t merely “plot” a thriller, he WRITES it.
I don’t understand the criticisms of the narrator. Dean Koontz writes the way he talks - you can find some fascinating interviews online. When I read his books I “hear” a very soft, even gentle voice, so hearing it read aloud that ways seems right. His main characters always have a quietness about them that reflects their “loner” or outsider natures, and Elizabeth Rodgers captures this in her reading. I agree with those who find the long pauses between chapters annoying, but this is the production crew”s error, not the narrator’s.
Bottom line: only four stars because it isn’t Koontz’s best work. Truth: if I were comparing The Silent Corner to the work of other writers rather than to Koontz himself, I’d probably give it five! And, yes, I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

good idea but pretty slow in the beginning
I generally like anything g that Dean Koontz writes, So I am aware that he sometimes goes over the top on descriptive prose, but with this book it almost felt like filler to make the book longer. I liked the premise and will probably get the next in the series when it comes out, but only because I stuck with it long enough to become vested in the heroine. the protagonist was too much a shadowy "they". and the gaps in logic towards the 3rd act were hard to understand considering this was Mr. Koontz. The heroine has to do something, make a mistake that she clearly avoids throughout the thirst two thirds of the story so we can bring everyone e to the last act.
also, it is a small thimg, but research, a helicopter pilot in the Army is never a "Sarge" several characters point out that one character was a helicopter pilot, but later everyone calls him their sergeant. sorry, 23 years as a military helicopter pilot. probably no one else was bothered by that.
hopefully the next in the series is a little faster paced.

Need a new narrator
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The book, definately. But read it, don't listen. Elisabeth Rodgers was quite robotic sounding. Like when I had Alexa read a book for me before I got Audible. I hoped that I had bought a kindle version as well, but hadn't so I was stuck listening to her. The story line was good, I enjoyed the book, just not the narration.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Silent Corner?
All of it.
How could the performance have been better?
Less robotic... don't pause forever between chapters (often I thought there was something wrong because the pause seemed to go on for so long!)
Was The Silent Corner worth the listening time?
The story was. I just found the narration annoying. If I could have traded for a kindle version, I would have.
Any additional comments?
I would like to be reimbursed for this book. If I see Elisabeth Rodgers again, I won't buy the book in audible form.

Very poor narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is a great story and moves along quickly.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Silent Corner?
When she goes to the house and meets the girl who has had her brain altered.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Elisabeth Rodgers?
Almost anyone. The narration modulated from hardly being able to hear her to her almost yelling. When wearing headphones it is a very distracting quality.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Is this the way the elite see the future?
Any additional comments?
Dean Koontz had created very memorable characters, but develops a scary story that makes one wonder if this could happen.

What's happened Koontz?
Not a bad read, look forward to a new Koontz read however feel the past few books I have read haven't had the suspense of the past books. Used to finish some of his books in a few days now I feel I'm looking forward to finishing to move onto something else. Time to find a different author I think!

More like his earlier work (but not as good)
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Dean Koontz is no weapon's expert. He alway's get's the weapons he writes about wrong. It's a minor point.
If you’ve listened to books by Dean Koontz before, how does this one compare?
It's ok. I loved Lightning and Watchers, they are so good. This is written in a similar fashion but lack's that magic that Lightning and Watcher's had.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Elisabeth Rodgers?
Probably. It would be nice if someone told her how to pronounce Heckler and Koch. Her constantly saying Heckler and Coke get's a bit irrtating.
Was The Silent Corner worth the listening time?
It's worth a listen.

First in a Series
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes and no. I listen to audio books while I am doing other things - eg driving - so I'm not usually 100% focused on the book. However, with this one, I kept having to replay lots of it, because the monotony, especially at the beginning and end, made things quite confusing.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was really disappointed - I didn't realise it was the first in a series, so I was expecting the book to have an actual ending....
What didn’t you like about Elisabeth Rodgers’s performance?
Well, for the first half of the book all the characters sounded the same as her "narration voice", so I had a lot of trouble working out when someone was talking, and who was talking. Then when she did start using "character voices" the guys all sounded like they had the same "smokers voice".
I had a lot of trouble following the story because of the narration.
Did The Silent Corner inspire you to do anything?
Yes, to read the WHOLE blurb, so I know when I'm starting a series.... especially when the next book(s) are not due for ages :(
I like to binge read series.
