About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In the late summer of a long-ago year, Alton Turner Blackwood brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy.

Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, re-creating in detail Blackwood’s crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family - his wife and three children - will be targets, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was fourteen and killed their slayer.

As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey, that sometimes the dead return.

Koontz fan... but....

I really love this author, he has written some of my all time favorite mysteries. This time however, I must agree with some of the other disappointed reviewers. Although the plot was fairly interesting on it's own, I agree that this story has some of the same aspects of the more recent novels, perfect marriage, perfect kids, rich rich family, fancy house with extra security, etc, etc. The novel lacked depth and intrigue for me, sorry. I too found it all too predictable and would be happy to welcome back Odd Thomas or something new that would remind us all of why we love this author so much. This novel pales in comparison to From the Corner of his Eye in my opinion. Still, I'm glad to have listened.

A satisfying listen...

The story was a solid Koontz thriller, but what really made this captivating was Steven Weber's narration. I want him to narrate all of the books I listen to from now on!

good listen

It was a little slower than a lot of dean's earlier books but still good. and the performance was a great fit as fast as his voice and the way he spoke. sounded like he could've really been the guy in the story.

Too twisted for me.

I love DK but some of this was too twisted perverted and dark for me. The reader voice was ok but still wish there would be a cast with so many characters.

being a fan of the supernatural this held my attention throughout the book. the story was believable and touched on a nerve keeping me compelled to go to the next chapter.
