My Thoughts:
Dean Koontz is yet another author that I truly adore for all his works. Some of his books are cheesy some are real kick-ass books, but I can definitely say that I liked all of them. His writing is simple, without the unnecessary BS, it's bone-chilling, fast paced and it takes you on a kind of emotional roller-coaster. He is Good. I especially like the way he ends every chapter, in a way that makes you turn the page and start reading another one, no time to take a break or put the book away for a while. That's what i call good writing!
Mr.Murder is relatively old book, being published in 1993 it's one of his older works. It tastes a bit like a classic thriller and I liked it for it. Reminded me in a way of old-school thriller movies I used to watch with my parents as a teenager. The plot isn't overly sophisticated but the book was a good and enjoyable, fast and pleasant read. I liked it a lot!
