Dean Koontz has outdone himself once again. This thriller had me jumping through hoops to get to the finish. The villain reveal was outstanding. I loved seeing the villain's mindset and thought processes they went through to justify what they were doing.

False Memory is action-packed, from a slow build-up that will leave you questioning your own sanity, to a climax leaving you out of breath. There is absolutely no dull moment in this novel, no point at which I wanted to skip a chapter or skim a page.

Martie Rhodes has been bringing her dear friend Susan to see a doctor for her agoraphobia. One morning, Martie is hit with her own inexplicable phobia, a fear of herself. As she seeks treatment from the doctor treating Susan, her husband Dusty starts noticing a bit of missing time in his days. Is he losing his mind along with his wife? Slowly piecing together clues, the duo comes to a conclusion you won't want to miss out on. Once the villain is revealed, the psychological play begins.

This novel will leave your heart racing, enrage you, shock you, and more!
