Publisher's summary

No one could have imagined Odd Thomas ever leaving the perfect, quirky comfort of Pico Mundo, least of all Odd himself. The little desert town that nurtured Odd all his life is the locus of everything he holds dear: his loyal friends, his ghostly confidants, and the place where he loved and lost his soul mate, the irreplaceable Stormy Llewellyn. Yet leave it he has, to embrace the solitude and peace of an isolated monastery high in the western mountains as he tries to find a way to live fully again.

But Odd has a knack for finding himself in the path of trouble no matter where he goes — even among the eccentric monks in their sanctuary and with his steady spirit companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, at his side. For a killer is stalking the ancient holy halls, and Odd is about to meet an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered.

Odd number: don't miss the first two audiobooks in this series, Odd Thomas and Forever Odd.

Critic reviews

"The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likeable creation." (The New York Times)
"An irresistibly offbeat mix of supernatural horror and laugh-out-loud humor." (Publishers Weekly)

Slow to get going

I was excited to get this Dean Koontz book but was disappointed in the reality. Perhaps it was me, but had a difficult time getting into the story with all of the character building that takes place for what seems like hours. The story itself is okay but quite predictable. Performance was good, kept me listening to the end.

Outstanding

I have been hooked on this series since I book one. I can not wait to see where the next book takes me. it's a bitter sweet moment. I want to finish the series out of anticipation however that would leave me with no more odd. never a full moment in any book so far. there is just enough down time to let you ponder on what just happened and as you finish that thought you are right back in it.

Oddly Deep

Read it. If you liked the first book....you will really like this one. Koontz has some extremely likable characters here. The Odd one shines🌞

Odd, but terrific!

I enjoyed the first two Odd Thomas books so much that I couldn't wait until Brother Odd came out. Dean Koontz's use of vocabulary is amazing. I often wonder what kind of mind can conceive the stories that Koontz writes. Brother Odd has an interesting interaction between accepted religion and Odd Thomas' gift, which adds a new twist to the Odd Thomas series. I look forward to more Odd Thomas novels!
