The Husband Reviews

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...

This books is a must for Dean Koontz fans.  Contains all the necessary characteristics:

1. interesting plot
2. hero/heroine
3. unique dilemma

however, there is not a lot of spinetingling excitement as in other Dean Koontz books.

 The ending also seems a little short.  It seems very short and there seems to be lot not explained or expanded on in the past.

There could have been much more to the story.  I was a little dissapointed in this novel.  Used to much more from Dean Koontz.

I keep hoping that it is just me, but I do not like MR. Koontz. I started reading him in my twenties and pick up a new book now and then.  I just do not like his style of writing.  My oldest daughter loves him.  I read his books to talk to her about them. We review different books together. I buy his latest through the year and give them to her as X-Mas presents. 

Got to admit, the man has a twisted mind.

I have been a Dean Koontz fan for years, The Husband was great. I love books when the story takes off like a race horse out of the gate, and you never want to lay the book down.  Koontz  did not let me down. His latest books have been good, The Odd Thomas Series, Frankenstein Series .. Good Brain Candy!

Dean Koontz is brilliant at writing about real and believable characters who find themselves in very unusual circumstances. I can always find something of myself in his main characters which pulls me deeply into his stories. How far would you go to save someone you love? This book does not disappoint!
