Resumen del Editor

Martin Stillwater has a vivid imagination. It charms his loving wife, delights his two little daughters, and gives him all the inspiration he needs to write his highly successful mystery novels. But maybe Martin’s imagination is a bit too vivid.

One rainy afternoon, a terrifying incident makes him question his grip on reality. A stranger breaks into his house, accusing Martin of stealing his wife, his children—and his life. Claiming to be the real Martin Stillwater, the intruder threatens to take what is rightfully his. The police think he’s a figment of Martin’s imagination. But Martin and his family have no choice but to believe the stranger’s threat. And run for their lives. But wherever they go—wherever they hide—he finds them.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Koontz is a terrific what-if storyteller...the narrative pace is breathless.” (People)

"The resounding variations Mr. Koontz plays on this good story, here craftily retold...allow him to counterpoint the new horrors about us with the old horrors already inside us.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“A superb work by a master of the thriller at the top of his form." (The Washington Post)

Worthy read!

I have read all of Mr Koontz' works. Although not my favorite and slow at the start, this book really kicked into nail biting reading in the second half. Appropriate for election years especially, it really makes you wonder and question. As a nation we should always pay attention to what is going on in our government to protect our many freedoms.

loves it

once again Dean Koontz didn't disappoint! I enjoyed this book very much. Kept me on my toes through out and made laugh . If you want a book with great suspense and humour, then this is the book for you

Hard to follow

This story was very hard to follow.

Would you recommend Mr. Murder to your friends? Why or why not?

Maybe. If I explained that the story was hard to keep up with.

Have you listened to any of Jay O. Sanders’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, about the same.

Did Mr. Murder inspire you to do anything?

No!

Any additional comments?

No!

Held my attention from beginning to end

I liked this book a lot. It had all the things that I want in a good book ... love, action, and mystery. The storyline was imaginative, and I looked forward to finding what would happen to the delightful family.

Rarely disappointed

All around solid. Great narration. Good pace and a cert interesting storyline. thoroughly enjoyed this book

Mr Murder

I love Dean Koontz’s work and found this book to be wonderfully entertaining. Jay O. Sanders narration was excellent !!!!

Late to this party

I’ve read many of his books but found this title on another review. How did I miss this one? Funny quips, edge of seat chapters and of course the authors insane power of descriptions! Some day I’ll write them down and use in my life. Must read!

Final story didn't mesh with the first part well

Started one direction, but changed 1/2 in. I wasn't thrilled with the resolution of the story arc.

Loved every minute!

This book kept me riveted from start to finish. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen there was a new surprise. The killer is not your usual run of the mill spree murderer. The victims are not the usual helpless idiots you’ve come to expect from watching too many slasher movies. Even the dark shadowy secret government agents surprised me at the end.

I found this book to be thoroughly entertaining, to the point where I did not want it to end. The narration was excellent. Definitely well worth your credit

Didn't expect the end

even though this book is a few years old, I still liked some of the scientific stiff even if it's not necessarily true... was a good ending
