Editor’s note Start with Odd Thomas, his most-read and best-rated book: a fry cook who sees the dead. It opens a seven-book series, though the first rates highest. Of the standalones, Watchers, about a genetically enhanced golden retriever, is the classic. His output is huge and uneven; The Taking rates lowest.
