Search - Mr. Murder

Thriller writer Martin Stillwater, though not at the top of his game, makes enough money and has enough fame to satisfy himself. He's got a good life, is in love with his wife and he adores his children. His future looks bright. Then a stranger, who happens to be Marty's dead ringer, shows up and accuses Marty of stealing his life and he wants it back.
And that's just the beginning of the book. However, as much as I absolutely love Dean Koontz, this one didn't hold me enthralled the way most of his others have done. I was actually able to put it down to check my e-mail and I didn't pick it back up till the next day. Not a good sign for a Koontz book. However, like all his work, it was an excellent story that scared me plenty.

I am more into murder mysteries and haven't read a Dean Koontz novel in a long, long time so I thought I'd give this one a try. I hated it, but not because the storyline or characters were bad, but because it's a typical Dean Koontz book where it's a little 'out there' and not necessisarily based on reality. If you're into Koontz, I'd say that you can't go wrong with this book.

Dean Koontz is truly the author of supense and drama. Finding out that the main charater has a look alike is really strange. when he steals his children you just want to scream NO!

Not one of his best books, not then he is turning out books too fast to give much thought to them anymore. This book was quite a stretch of the imagination, almost absurd at times. It was OK, but nothing to rave about.
