Our view
“Mr. Murder” is a dark, tense Dean Koontz thriller with a family at its centre and a mystery that takes hold early. Some readers find that a long middle stretch stalls under descriptive passages, though the closing chapters win them back. At close to five hundred pages, it suits Koontz readers who like their suspense on a large scale.
