Shadowfires

De: Dean Koontz

Narrado por: Jane Oppenheimer

A haunting hair-raiser resurrected with a NEW recording and NEW narrator.

“His prose mesmerizes…Koontz consistently hits the bull’s-eye.”–Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Rachel's request for a quick and clean divorce enraged her husband. She’d never seen Eric so angry, so consumed by pure and terrifying hatred. Then, in the heat of the moment, Eric was killed in a traffic accident. Shocked and relieved, Rachel had nothing left to fear. Until Eric's body disappeared from the morgue—and suddenly, Rachel is being stalked by someone who looks just like her dead husband.

An original Dean Koontz book

I probably read this book back when it first came out and it is still a great story. I liked the early books using a lot of freeways and cities in California. Very good narration.

Good story.

The narrator is very listenable... is that even word? She is very adept and nd I've enjoyed listening to her before.

Immensely enjoyable, but for one little thing…

A great Dean Koontz story, but, I have always been a “word” person and mispronunciations and grammatical errors just take me right out of the story. I don’t want to blame the narrator. She has a lovely voice and wonderful intonation. It may not be her fault. It may have been the copy she was reading from, but there were so many errors, I had to start counting them. I only started from Chapter 29, when it got too much to bear. After that there was:
Bezendrine instead of Benzedrine ,
Gutsy wind instead of Gusty,
En-con-ridion instead of En-chir-idion,
Cir-CUR-itous instead of Circuitous,
Dishearting instead of Disheartening,
Acrinoid instead of Arachnoid,
Imoliating instead of Immolating,
…they open fired instead of opened fire.
There were many more. Perhaps it is a matter of editing by the producer?
I don’t know whose job it is, but they were sleeping on the job in this one.
Sorry.

It was so brilliant and the descriptions were so vivid. Enjoyed it very much.

Nothing was wrong with the book. I enjoyed every word! Well written suspense in every turn!

FANTASTIC BOOK!!

Koontz has done it again! Could hardly tear myself away from it. Oppenheimer was outstanding, she covered all based with her voice.
