Summary
An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.
Number one New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz takes listeners on a twisting journey of lost love, impossible second chances, and terrifying promises.
A decade ago, Emily Carlino vanished after her car broke down on a California highway. She was presumed to be one of serial killer Ronny Lee Jessup’s victims whose remains were never found.
Writer David Thorne still hasn’t recovered from losing the love of his life, or from the guilt of not being there to save her. Since then, he’s sought closure any way he can. He even visits regularly with Jessup in prison, desperate for answers about Emily’s final hours so he may finally lay her body to rest. Then David meets Maddison Sutton, beguiling, playful, and keenly aware of all David has lost. But what really takes his breath away is that everything about Maddison, down to her kisses, is just like Emily. As the fantastic becomes credible, David’s obsession grows, Maddison’s mysterious past deepens - and terror escalates.
Is she Emily? Or an irresistible dead ringer? Either way, the ultimate question is the same: What game is she playing? Whatever the risk in finding out, David’s willing to take it for this precious second chance. It’s been ten years since he’s felt this inspired, this hopeful, this much in love...and he’s afraid.
Critic reviews
“Narrator MacLeod Andrews does an outstanding depiction of David Thorne, who is desperate to find out the truth about the disappearance of Emily Carlino, the love of his life.... Andrews channels David's confusion and heartache with palpable emotion and credibility, taking listeners through an exhilarating and perplexing story.” (AudioFile Magazine)
"[MacLeod] Andrews narrates this thriller in a slightly gravelly, straightforward tone that reflects the everyman protagonist who has been ensnared in a Hitchcockian conspiracy laced with romance and light science fiction." (Booklist)
“A gripping and downright frightening book...genuinely captivating. Koontz remains a masterful storyteller in multiple genres, and this is one of his best.” (Booklist, starred review)

poor narration
had to return so I have no idea if the story is any good , I couldn't get past the narrator constantly breathing in very loudly at the end of every sentence.

Standard
It was entertaining, standard Koontz. I found it difficult in the beginning due to the constant sharp intake of breath from the narrator. I must admit, I much preferred his earliest books, and I read those rather than listening.

Gripping and well told
I enjoyed this intriguing story, well narrated and creepy at times. Plenty of 'edge of your seat' moments.

Loved it!
Mr Andrews has done a brilliant job reading this novel. I have heard some really skilful narrators but he really seemed to live this book.
I found the story gripping and (when everything unravels) thought provoking.
I love that Mr Koontz can write a scary story filled with a barrage of human feelings.
I definitely recommend as I couldn’t stop listening. Thank you.

Very Good performance, Decent Story
Usual Koontz really: Story feels as far fetched as it is. That said it was is enjoyable, full of good ideas but overall lacking a little cohesion (so I gave it 4 stars - it really felt like 3.5). I felt the performance was excellent. Overall, a 4* experience.

classic Koontz
When a woman turns up that looks exactly like his supposed murdered wife Emily, it seems too good to be true, mmm, can David Thorn get to the crux of a horrific truth.

Twisty turny greatness
It has suspense, intrigue, romance, heartache, plus so much more (no spoilers)
I read this in one day. Loved the book and all it’s about, found I had to try keep the varying lines straight to avoid confusion at times but it all gets tied up with a bow. Great listening, narration good, characters great, plot intriguing. Thank you

disappointing
typical of many Dean Koontz books, a very week ending coming completely out of leftfield.
