The Husband Review

Like I've said before, I love Dean Koontz books.  The Husband is another pulse-pounding thriller. One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty gets a call on his cellphone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to come up with $2 million in cash. Of course, he's warned not to involve the police. While Mitch is still on the phone, the kidnapper proves his seriousness by directing Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across the street. A moment later the man is shot dead. Mitch must walk a fine line-cooperating with the police inquiry into this murder without revealing Holly's plight. Koontz ratchets up the tension in a manner sure to captivate most readers, though some may find the ending anticlimactic.  Other books from Dean Koontz that I love...Life Expectancy, Velocity, The Good Guy, Odd Thomas series and Relentless.  He has a new one coming out in November!  I can't wait.  Oh, and in addition to Dean Koontz I have read a couple of books by Lisa Gardner that I love.  I may review them later, but for now, I'll just say that The Neighbor is really good!!  I loved it, couldn't put it down.  It had me hooked from page one!
