Audie Award Nominee, Best Thriller/Suspense Category, 2013
“Koontz gives [Odd Thomas] wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.”—USA Today
Once presided over by a Roaring ’20s Hollywood mogul, the magnificent West Coast estate known as Roseland now harbors a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants—and their guests: Odd Thomas, the young fry cook who sees the dead and tries to help them, and Annamaria, his inscrutably charming traveling companion. Fresh from a harrowing clash with lethal adversaries, they welcome their host’s hospitality. But Odd’s extraordinary eye for the uncanny detects disturbing secrets that could make Roseland more hell than haven.
Soon enough the house serves up a taste of its terrors, as Odd begins to unravel the darkest mystery of his curious career. What consequences await those who confront evil at its most profound? Odd only knows.
“Odd Thomas is the greatest character Dean Koontz has ever created. He’s funny, humble, immensely likable, courageous, and just a joy to read about.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“[Odd Thomas is] one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction.”—The Virginian-Pilot
“Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs.”—The Denver Post

"The 5th Odd Thomas book. Odd finds himself in a place with strange happenings and once again Odd has to deal with them. I liked this book. It was a combination of sci-fi and horror but not so much that you would classify it in either genre. Odd is a likable character and you root for him to succeed. There are also bits of humor that will make you smile. Also, the cameo from a real life person was a nice touch and I am looking forward how this plays out. This is one of the better Odd Thomas books but it can be a stand alone also."

" Amazing.. best Odd addition yet. "
— Micah, 2/16/2014 -
" I;ve read all the Odd Thomas books. This is the best of them all. "
— Buzz, 2/9/2014 -
" question posed by my brother: Do Dean and Stephen (King) get together and agree on a common theme for their next books? "
— Jean, 2/7/2014 -
" I do not like the Odd series as much as the Christopher Snow series. I hope this book means Christopher snow will be back soon. "
— Esmeralda, 1/27/2014 -
" All I can say is FINALLY! And that dean koontz is a truly great storyteller. "
— Jessica, 1/18/2014 -
" I love the Odd Thomas books, but have to say I was disappointed that Koontz couldn't resist playing politics in this book, which is out of character. "

" really 3.5. I did not enjoy this one as much as I did the others. "
— Anne, 12/28/2013 -
" Definitely the best of the Odd Thomas series. This one was less paranormal and was edging pretty close to science fiction, but I didn't mind that because I just love the character so much that I am willing to look past those aspects. "
— Stefan, 12/10/2013 -
" I love an Odd book! Fabulous as usual, Mr. Koontz, and I was finished all too quickly..... "
— Charlotte, 11/28/2013 -
" Erm. Well. I definitely enjoyed it better than #2 in the series, and it certainly had its fair share of humor, but after #4, I found myself disappointed in Odd Apocalypse. Worth reading if you're a fan of Odd Thomas? Certainly. Just don't expect it to surpass the level of Brother Odd. "
— Hannah, 11/12/2013 -
" Not the best in the Odd Thomas series. Started off very slowly but eventually picked up speed about half way through. I liked the ending and The Ghost Tesla character intrigued me so I checked out a biography about him. I'll still read the next two. "
— Jim, 10/9/2013 -
" Had a hard time getting into this one. Not my favorite, but Odd is still one of my favorite literary characters, and I'll read every Odd book just to revisit him! "
— Holly, 9/25/2013 -
" Not my favorite Odd book. "
— Lori, 9/13/2013 -
" Love me some Odd Thomas! "
— Melanie, 5/30/2013 -
" Odd is as quirky and amusing as ever. Koontz has managed, over the span of five novels and three novellas (and probably the graphic novels as well, though I've not read them), to maintain a consistent voice for this incredibly lovable character. I hope this is not the last of the odd one. "

" pretty good read once you get past his holy self righteous superstitions. "
— Josh, 2/25/2013 -
" You really have to be a fan of the bizarre to like this book. It is typical Dean Koontz. I love the character, Odd Thomas. He has been around in several novels which I'm sure I read but don't remember. It kept my interest, but is a genre not interesting to everyone. "
— Rita, 1/29/2013 -
" 1.5. Only because it's Dean Koontz and I'm still holding onto the amazement from the first Odd book. This was torture to read. "
— Marinda, 1/9/2013 -
" This one wasn't the fun, quirky Odd that I know and love. This Odd Thomas was quite the high level speaker, using vocabulary that didn't fit him. It was a good story, but not one that I'd read again- and I've read the 1st 3 Odd books over and over again. "

" I love the Odd Thomas series but this book seemed almost too formal for lack of a better word. I'd hoped to learn more about the Annamarie character. I liked the Odd Interlude series better than this book. :( "
— Jeanne, 11/16/2012 -
" This book was really weird. I almost stopped reading it when I got to a certain part. I pushed through and was glad I did. It had a good ending as the Odd Thomas series always does; the bad guy always gets 'his' in the end. "
— Wendy, 10/31/2012 -
" Very good book. I love all the odd books. "
— Nathan, 10/4/2012 -
" I enjoyed the other Odd books more. This had a slow start. "
— Judith, 8/6/2012 -
" One of the best of the series "
