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)

Very Good

This one brought the series back around, as the last one seemed to meander a bit.

Another Odd one that keeps you thinking. I think I missed one in the series but it didn't matter much.

One of my favorites

For some reason, I always like going back to this book to listen. Maybe it’s just calming.

Enjoyed this book. It had been a while since reading the first one, but easy to drop right on in with #2. Interesting story line.

Loved Odd

Loved all the Odd books. Seeing ghosts and dead people is not a new idea, but it is well written. Fast paced and quirky, I felt like Odd was a real person.

always good when listening to Koontz about Odd

Koontz what an imagination. I have listened to or read nearly all his books and there has been only one I wouldn't read again. Odd Thomas books are all top shelf.
