Hi Herb;
I am a HUGE Dean Koontz fan and I did finish "The Darkest Evening of the Year". I think perhaps this book was a bit cathartic for Dean as it followed close on the death of his beloved Trixie. It did sell in large numbers and received excellent reviews. However, some people can like an author's work but one book comes along that leaves them at a loss. This may be the case with you. You've done the right thing though in setting this work aside. If it doesn't sing to you there are a lot of good reads available and frequently not enough time. Go on to something else and share your feelings with us. I'm always looking for another good book.
