Press release from the Jefferson County Library: Emily Lamb August 30, 2021   Velocity by Dean Koontz - 334 pages "If you don't take this note to the police . . . I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. . . . If you do . . . I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have six hours to decide. The choice is yours. The typewritten note under his windshield seems like just a sick joke. But in less than twenty-four hours, Billy Wiles, an ordinary, hardworking guy, is about to see his life take on the speed of a nightmare. Because a young blond schoolteacher is murdered—and now Billy has another note. And another deadline. This time he knows it's no joke. He's racing a killer faster than evil itself. And Billy must accept his terrifying challenge: The choice is yours." - AmazonOk y'all, listen.  For watever reason, I've always heard that you're either a Dean Koontz fan OR a Stephen King fan.  And I am very firmly in the King camp.  And then. I heard an excellent review of this book on the Currently Reading podcast, and when I stumbled upon it in a used book shop, I took it as a sign.  I thought, perhaps I'll try it out.  If I don't like it, no one will ever have to know I read a Dean Koontz book.But then. Dear Lord, I could NOT put this book down.  I mean, look at that premise!  How could you possibly make that choice?! I was hooked from the start, and pretty sure I suffered whiplash from the twists and turns here.  King will forever be my favorite, but here I am, totally recommending y'all try out this Dean Koontz book.   This press release was produced by the Jefferson County Library.
