Helpful Score: 2
Another good Dean Koontz book. He has become very adept at giving his readers a suspense novel with a unique concept. The first chapter of "The Good Guy" sets up yet another intriguing concept. A man sitting in a bar is mistaken for a hired killer and given $10,000 and information on a woman he is to murder. Before he realizes what has happened, the man is gone. A few minutes later he's approached by the real killer. He passes the killer the money but tells him he has changed his mind and no longer wants the woman killed. It doesn't take the killer long to realize that a mistake was made and soon he is after both of them.
Koontz had a great concept for this novel and he comes close but doesn't quite deliver. Suspense is built effectively, however, there are very few twists and turns in the plot, and those that are provided are not satisfying. Not a bad novel if you can overlook the flawed premise and are willing to accept a highly improbable resolution.
