Editorial Reviews:

With each and every new novel, Dean Koontz raises the stakes—and the pulse rate—higher than any other author. Now, in what may be his most suspenseful and heartfelt novel ever, he brings us the story of an ordinary man whose extraordinary commitment to his wife will take him on a harrowing journey of adventure, sacrifice, and redemption to the mystery of love itself—and to a showdown with the darkness that would destroy it forever.

What would you do for love? Would you die? Would you kill?

We have your wife. You can get her back for two million cash. Landscaper Mitchell Rafferty thinks it must be some kind of joke. He was in the middle of planting impatiens in the yard of one of his clients when his cell phone rang. Now he’s standing in a normal suburban neighborhood on a bright summer day, having a phone conversation out of his darkest nightmare.

Whoever is on the other end of the line is dead serious. He has Mitch’s wife and he’s named the price for her safe return. The caller doesn’t care that Mitch runs a small two-man landscaping operation and has no way of raising such a vast sum. He’s confident that Mitch will find a way.

If he loves his wife enough. . . Mitch does love her enough. He loves her more than life itself. He’s got seventy-two hours to prove it. He has to find the two million by then. But he’ll pay a lot more. He’ll pay anything.

From its tense opening to its shattering climax, The Husband is a thriller that will hold you in its relentless grip for every twist, every shock, every revelation…until it lets you go, unmistakably changed. This is a Dean Koontz novel, after all. And there’s no other experience quite like it.


From the Hardcover edition.

Conclusion: The Husband


Review: This is a true story of the perfect kind of love that anyone would want in a marriage.

A simple gardner, Mitch Rafferty, gets a disturbing phone call from a stranger stating that he has his wife, Holly. Mitch is confused, devastated, and the stranger then tells him that he has less than 3 days to come up with $2 million in cash. Meanwhile, a pedestrian is shot and killed when Mitch dives to take cover. The detective on the case seems to point his finger toward Mitch but more and more twists are told to us.

Mitch only has $11,000 in his checkings and will do anything and everything to get his wife back. Is that enough though?

As the tale spins in this story, Mitch's simple family life seems more than just simple. We learn many unexpected twists and Koontz will keep you up all night long reading this novel full of twists and turns.

Conclusion: My Hero


Review: This book is fun. Koontz drops you into the dilemma on page one and the action charges on from there. I found myself thinking, "This character's smart. What else could such a simple man do in this mess?" Mitch, the main character, is a hero. -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin

Conclusion: My Favorite Koontz So Far... A Perfect Novel


Review: What can I say? "The Darkest Evening" left me mystified and discontent, "The Good Guy" had moments of sheer brilliance upset by disjointed character development and some tacky dialogue... "The Husband" is absolutely perfect. I haven't read a book this year that kept me this riveted, pumped and inspired. If you like suspense, romance and intrigue, this is a book you'll never forget.

Conclusion: New Style from Koontz


Review: "This book was a little out of genre for Koontz. It reads more like a Harlan Coben novel. However, since I love Coben AND Koontz, once I got over looking for 'Koontz trademarks', I really enjoyed this book.
No, there are no aliens or supernatural stuff. But, there is a great storyline with a good surprise.
Try it. If you really like it, go buy some Harlan Coben books, they will be right up your alley."
