Darkest Evening of the Year, by Dean Koontz
By Peter on Feb 4, 2008 in Fiction Books, bestseller, book review
The author of The Darkest Evening of the Year, Dean Koontz, has written several #1 New York Times bestsellers. He is a great storyteller that 
entertains and enlightens readers with novels that capture the essence of our times even as they bring us to the edge of our seats. The Darkest Evening of the Year does this as well.
The Darkest Evening of the Year is at once a love story, a thrilling adventure, and a masterwork of suspense. Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she’s a legend for the risks she’ll take to save an animal from abuse.
No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, whose abusive owner beat the dog, his wife, and their children. The bond between Amy and Nickie is immediate and uncanny. Even her two other goldens, Fred and Ethel, recognize Nickie as special, a natural alpha. But the instant joy Nickie brings is shadowed by a series of eerie incidents. An ominous stranger. A mysterious home invasion.
Lots of excitement and love for animals. An excellent read!
