"A Girl In Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)" is the soundtrack that plays in my head when I think about the newest Koontz book. It was a return to the "someone is out to injure / kill a woman and a man gets involved trying to save her" type books that started me reading Koontz in the first place. If you know your Koontz - think Lightning. One of the aspects of these that I always enjoyed was that while some man gets involved, the woman is not the usual helpless, shrinking violet who has been waiting all their life for a man. They are normally confident, strong and intelligent. The man and woman become a pair - each one excelling at finding ways to stay a step ahead of the bad guy chasing them.
A fun book, one that will stay in the collection (as all Koontz tend to do).
