Title: There's more to good writing than intensity.
Product review: No. Sorry. Serial killers like Mr. 'God fears me' Vess are best left to Patricia D. Cornwell and John Sandford. They have protagonists who can handle them. The ideal Dean Koontz antagonist is science-fictionized (The Bad Place, Watchers, Phantoms) and two- or three-dimensional. And the protagonist is an ordinary person (The Voice of the Night, Watchers, Midnight), not a Superwoman who breaks oak chairs and fights off guard dogs with cleaning fluid. This book was intense all right; unfortunately, that's ALL it was
