Title: Cardboard cut-outs for characters, movie-of-the-week plot
Product review: Another one-star effort by Dean Koontz. "Mr. Murder" is a somewhat interesting story that succombs to a plot written to be the movie-of-the week. The characters are dull and one-dimensional. It's impossible to care about such contrived characters that are just soooo sweet. This is the third (and it will be the last) Dean Koontz novel that I've read. After each book I'm left with the same empty feeling that I have after watching some mindless TV movie, and that is regretting that I've wasted my time. After a good novel I find myself running through scenes in my mind and thinking about the characters. After reading Dean Koontz I'm left with nothing.
