11) The Good Guy - Dean Koontz (May 16, 2008)
Dean Koontz is back with another novel where he puts a man and a woman together in a strange situation and sets them on the run. This is better than some of his recent attempts. Thankfully there's only one dog, owned by a peripheral character, and no character with Down's Syndrome, so he's not using all of his usual bags of tricks here. However, the villain once again has almost a supernatural knowledge of what the heroic characters are going to do.
While I was reading this novel I really enjoyed it, but once it was over I couldn't help wondering why! The characters are interesting, but they needed more development. And, as usual, the ending was a letdown, although it probably couldn't have ended another way.
Mr Koontz, the question still is, where is Part 3 of your Frankenstein series? We're still waiting. Stop writing this kind of stuff until you finish what you started!
