A call in the middle of the night summoned psychiatrist Laura McCaffrey out into the rain-swept streets of Los Angeles. The police had found her husband—beaten to death.

Great story with two of my favorite narrators but could’ve cut down the young girls long and drawn out repetitive descriptions at times. I actually skipped a few minutes forward after a while and she would still be repeating the same thing. Also, the main character seemed almost predatory creepy towards the mother about her and her daughter being the most important things in the world to him. Sort of like he was in a relationship with the mother and she wasn’t aware. Who knows though. Maybe I skipped something that showed a budding relationship.

Love the narrators

This has long been a favorite book of mine so I was very excited when I find it in audio. They did a fantastic job the characters sound the way I expected it! This is a must listen in my opinion.

Fantastic

The story was good, but the dreadful mispronunciation of a word ending in “geist” was grating.

Someone needs to teach narrators about pronunciation

The female narrator consistently put the wrong inflection on most words at the end of sentences. This made it very difficult to listen to. The storyline was not as good as the other Koontz books that I have listened to.

Horrible narrator

This is one of the classic. I believe it originally released in 1985 and now the audiobook. The story is quite predictable but it’s still very fun to listen. Troy Duran is the GOAT, I can listen to him reading anything. It was first time for me listening Moniqua Plante, she was fantastic as well. The book created an intense scene and suspenseful also frightening as the story goes. I couldn’t stop listening. I would give it 6 stars just for the narrators.

Dean Koontz never disappoints
