She kills one who attacks her again. They track down the other together. ( )Okay, I'm a big Koontz fan, but this book . . . The story was good, the suspense everything I expected. What I didn't like is how it seemed to drag on (literately). I feel he could've cut a good chunk out of it without ruining the story. I could be a bit bias though, since I did have to buy a second copy after the first soaked up a nice size puddle. One of Koontz's darkest novels ever, almost everyone in the book has a dark and twisted past including the villian which i found to be very unique about a Koontz novel. Also the mystery really does a good job of keeping you guessing until the very end of the book. The book really plucks at your heart at certain points even creating a lot of sympathy for the villian, a very emotional, gripping novel. Not the best Koontz book ever, but definitly a classic favorate, one of his better novels to date. A truly horrifying novel, not recommended for late-at-night reading! Bruno Frye is a man that was abused by his mother, who in turn, was abused by her father. Because of that, Bruno has severe mental psychoses and believes that even though his mother is dead, she comes back to life reincarnated as other women that Bruno then has to kill. The story starts off with a bang with Bruno going after Hilary Thomas, a woman he believes is his mother's current form, and takes off from there. Enjoyable overall but it can be gruesome at parts. It also causes sympathy for Bruno, even though he does horrific things, he's only a product of the way he was raised. scariest page turner - a classic by the master of mystery/thrillers. you cannot figure out the twists and you can't put it down. Don't read this while home alone. 0.063 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
