Book Review of The Key to Midnight

The Key to Midnight
Uyulala avatar reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


Unpredictable and tense, Koontz' first "stab at an action-suspense romance novel with a background of international intrigue" is a page-turner. Even when you suspect you might be able to predict what's happening, Koontz ensures you'll never figure out the whole of it.

Cautionary note for sensitive readers: a rape scene is described; even without the detail found in other books, it is disturbing.

The afterword in the 1995 edition (released under Koontz, not the pseudonym Leigh Nichols) provides a short, humorous look at the author's thoughts of himself and is a delightful way to finish.
