    About this audiobook

    Martin Stillwater has a vivid imagination. It charms his loving wife, delights his two little daughters, and gives him all the inspiration he needs to write his highly successful mystery novels. But maybe Martin's imagination is a bit too vivid… One rainy afternoon, a terrifying incident makes him question his grip on reality. A stranger breaks into his house, accusing Martin of stealing his wife, his children-and his life. Claiming to be the real Martin Stillwater, the intruder threatens to take what is rightfully his. The police think he's a figment of Martin's imagination. But Martin and his family have no choice but to believe the stranger's threat. And run for their lives.But wherever they go-wherever they hide-he finds them…

      Nightmares from this book.
      Page turner thriller.
      First I've read by Koontz.
      Interesting premise.
      Read in 2004.
    • 4/5
      The easiest way to write a review on this novel is, did you ever see the movie, "The Terminator." If this novel wasn't based off the story line of that movie, I'd like to know what that novel is was. A good read like the movie.
    • 4/5
      Yet another amazing bad guy by Koontz. While the storylines of his books are great and enjoyable to read, it is his bad guys that make his books so excellent.
    • 3/5
      The conceit is pretty contrived and it feels like there could have been way more done with it. Well, he uses it again in his writing, so I guess I’m right.
    • 4/5
      From my teenaged years to today, I continue to love Dean Koontz books. That is more than 3 decades of love. Koontz never fails to deliver suspense. Being a more critical, or perhaps just a grumpy old woman, though, I find his character's dialogue stiff, perhaps because these are largely one dimensional creations. Good Verses Evil dilemmas.Mr. Murder is no exception. It remains an entertaining read and this clone monster created by The Network will stop at nothing to get what he needs. Until he tries to take over Author Martin Stillwater's life. Then it's a fight to to the death.
    • 5/5
      This is one of the best and scariest books by Koontz that I've read. I had a constant feeling of dread and anxiety while I was reading it. The main reason for this is that although the story poses some sci-fi elements, it's the general evil, the evil and circumstances that could happen to the reader personally, that bring the book to life. Koontz also does a good job developing the characters. The reader becomes attached tot and cares about them. He even elicits compassion for the villain. For the majority of this novel, the sci-fi elements also have a Crichton-realism-type feel. They bring up controversial topics. The end of the novel strays some from this "real" feel; however, not really to the detriment of the story as the focus of the story shifts from "The Other" to The Network.SPOILER: For me, a hot-topic of discussion from this is whether or not clones have souls. Also, does scientifically maturing a human mature all aspects or is some experience necessary? One of the lingering horrors for me is that Marty's parents died thinking their own son killed them.
    • 3/5
      This one didn't really grab me. Given that a clue was dropped early on in the story, I guessed what was going on and the rest of the story was just a procession to the inevitable revalation. I don't often guess the twist in stories like this, but feeling smug didn't make up for it.
    • 1/5
      An interesting concept for a story ... which, unfortunately only takes the reader so far. Overall, this is just another book in Koontz's long line of so-so thrillers -- passably entertaining while you're reading it, but not a book to bother with a second time or if you've something more lively to read.
    • 5/5
      This quickly became one of my favorite Koontz books. While the story line could be interpreted as a little close to Kings "Dark Half"- it quickly evolved into its own web. I especially loved how the ending- while not completely realistic didn't leave with everything intact- there was some sacrifice that was made by the main character.
    • 1/5
      The first half of Koontz's "Mr. Murder" is like a lame, and yet somehow even more unbelievable, version of King's "Dark Half". The second half continues in this vein, but adds in elements of poor sci-fi and a deep, dark, secret conspiracy that seems tacked on as an afterthought. I found this book even a little too insipid for light-reading fare.
    • 5/5
      Another wonderful Koontz book. This one takes you into an entire family, which is probably one of my all time favorate families in a book, i feel in love with them early on and they kept me hooked until the end. The concept of this book is identity as the bad guy is a clone of our protagisnist and believes that he stole his life, thus beginning our story. A very underrated Koontz book that everybody should give a chance and read.
