A review by mike_68
Shattered by Dean Koontz

5.0

One of Koontz's best early novels (originally published in 1973 under Koontz’s early pseudonym K. R. Dwyer) and probably launched him as a top selling thriller author. The novel involves a pursuit across America involving Alex Doyle, and his new brother-in-law Colin being pursued by George Leland, a jilted ex-boyfriend of Alex's new wife Courtney, who is mentally "shattered". The character of Leland shows Koontz's ability to create a terrifying psychotic antagonist which his future novels are known for.

Easy, fast read with simplistic writing with plenty of thrills.
