Elizabeth R. (esjro) - , reviewed Take this, Dean Koontz! on 8/14/2008 + 947 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This book was what I had hoped Dean Koontz's Darkest Evening of the Year would be like: a thriller in which a golden retriever features prominently, with plenty of action and romance. The story centers around a woman and her search and rescue dog Monty. They are unwittingly caught up in a scenario involving industrial espionage, murder, and revenge.

Dog lovers will adore Monty, and this book does provide an interesting look into the world of canine search and rescue. The book follows the usual Johansen format - the briskly moving plot whisks readers to different corners of the earth, and a strong yet vulnerable heroine saves the day with the help of a men she is not sure she can trust. This is an enjoyable quick read.
