Another superb adventure for Odd Thomas, one in which he must solve a deadly puzzle to save a monastery from a supernatural nightmare! With horrific thrills and chills, a fantastic mystery with jaw-dropping twists and turns, plenty of terrifying suspense, warmth, and a fantastic sense of humor, Koontz proves that the third time’s the charm for any supernatural horror-suspense series when it’s done well! If it weren’t for the first book, I would consider this the best book in the series so far!

It’s been awhile since I read the previous book in this series, so maybe I’m mistaken, but to me, this book felt freakier than the others. It’s pretty creepy. There’s an evil monster made of bones of joints attacking the monastery where Odd went to chill from his crazy life. It seems that he just can’t take a break from saving the innocent. I liked it, and I will be continuing the series.

Loved it! Read it in one night. Odd Thomas is addicting

I love the Odd Thomas collection. While maintaining suspense and a great story it is truly witty and uplifting. Thank you Dean Koontz

I was forced to read a book, so I just chose this book. Upon reading the first chapter, I became more and more engrossed in the book. As I continued to read on, I could not put the book down. This book has one of the most vivid descriptions I have read so far, and the thrill and chills add a nice feel to the story. The plot is very well thought out, and this book was not about what I was expecting. I definitely recommend this book!!!

Incredible piece of writing and depth of imagination. Dean, is always articulate and made me feel part of a monastery, and kinship for the many characters portrayed. SIMPLY AWESOME!!!
