Koontz is a well rounded writer who uses his skill to draw his readers into his stories, and this book is no exception. Mr. Murder is a wonderful twist on the Frankenstein meets government conspiracies subject, and he draws the two together seamlessly. His 'creation' of Alfie uses some creative license when he stretches the ability of scientists today where cloning is concerned, using genetic mapping to select and amplify abilities of healing and growth. His description of the Network is detailed enough to make the reader feel as though this kind of agency must exist on some level, but far-fetched enough that widespread panic wouldn't accompany his book on the bestseller list. Mr. Murder is truly a well written story, typical of Koontz, with many twists of fate.
