Devoted
From Dean Koontz, the international bestselling master of suspense, comes an epic thriller about a terrifying killer and the singular compassion it will take to defeat him.
Woody Bookman hasn’t spoken a word in his eleven years of life. Not when his father died in a freak accident. Not when his mother, Megan, tells him she loves him. For Megan, keeping her boy safe and happy is what matters. But Woody believes a monstrous evil was behind his father’s death and now threatens him and his mother. And he’s not alone in his thoughts. An ally unknown to him is listening.
A uniquely gifted dog with a heart as golden as his breed, Kipp is devoted beyond reason to people. When he hears the boy who communicates like he does, without speaking, Kipp knows he needs to find him before it’s too late.
Woody’s fearful suspicions are taking shape. A man driven by a malicious evil has set a depraved plan into motion. And he’s coming after Woody and his mother. The reasons are primal. His powers are growing. And he’s not alone. Only a force greater than evil can stop what’s coming next.

名作ウォッチャーズの続編。天才犬の5世代(?)程下のゴールデンKippと人々の物語。
先生のファンとして書きづらいのですが話がアチコチ飛び過ぎで散漫なイメージが拭えず...確か120章以上あって章ごとに視点が変わるため細切れで悪役達の視点ばかりで主人公達の話を追いたくなったし、登場人物が多いので余計に物語に感情移入もしずらかった。
脇役（特に多すぎる悪役）のサイドストーリーを減らして主人公達の人生や変化をもっと深く描けたら感動作になったかと。天才犬達の進化を知りたい前作ファンの方のみお時間あったらどうぞ。
物語の組み立て・編集次第で名作になる可能性が非常に大きかったと思うので勿体なかったな、と。

80sのノリだ！懐かしすぎます。
悪い人のさらに悪くなる過程とか、変になりすぎたのを表現するため？人間食べちゃったりとか、とんでもない感じがバブル期みたい。
犬がめっちゃ賢いとか、本当に面白い。
