More Praise for Dean Koontz

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”—The Seattle Times

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly

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

Another Thriller from Koontz Fertile Mind

A mystery to me is just how Dean Koontz continues to grab such fertile theses from the ether and write such gripping stories around them.

Koontz fans will be satisfied while haters may find a bit more tedium and repetition in this opus.

Mr. Murder
by: Dean Koontz

So, I give Mr. Murder 4 shooting stars. I would classify this (audio)book as a Suspense/Thriller with a splash of Horror & Si-Fi thrown into the mix.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It had what I felt was good character development, with enough suspense & action to hook me in and keep me on the line. I especially loved how Marty kept his girls entertained and worry-free before bedtime, with stories written specifically for them. I did hold back a star because often times I find that Dean Koontz can get a bit carried away by adding unnecessary parts to the book. For me, that only lengthens the book, and not in a good way. With this I start to drift off and lose interest altogether.

Jay O. Sanders did a phenomenal job narrating Mr. Murder and gets 5 shiny stars from me. I wouldn’t hesitate in choosing/listening to another audiobook that he narrates.
Thank you for allowing me to review this (audio)book...

very admirable performance and story.

Dean Koontz delivers once again. Admirable story line and very good audible performance. Definitely makes one think twice about having an evil twin in the world
