Our view
“Brother Odd” moves Odd Thomas to a snowbound monastery in the Sierra, and the new setting suits Dean Koontz’s series. Some readers find Odd’s first-person musings abstract and strained to the point of tedium, and others prefer the previous volume. In this third novel horror and suspense are leavened with jokes, and the monks, nuns and other residents of the abbey are part of the appeal.
