Odd Hours by Dean Koontz
4.0

Warning: review contains spoilers

This Odd Thomas novel feels more like a member of a series? Although it's clear that Koontz tries to make them read-alone's (evident to me in the incessant explanation of his name and references boarding on re telling to the previous books), and although Odd diverts the main tragedy in this novel, the set up with Annamarie (also called The Lady of the Bell in the next novel) could leave the reader more unsatisfied than begging for the next book. I mostly did not have that experience. I of course want to know what if anything came to pass nationally as a result of Odds diversion of the nuclear weapons apparently arranged by a senator seeking a coup. Though we hear no more of it in this novel, I again imagine this is a growing story and not an incomplete ending.
I miss Stormy and Ozzie but am glad to see that Odd will be taking a couple of characters from this book with him into the next.
