Summary
There are millions of stories. Some magical, some tragic, others terror-filled or triumphant. Jonah Kirk’s story is all of these things as he introduces his indomitable ‘piano man’ grandfather; his single mother, a beautiful, struggling singer; and every day saints and sinners who will change the course of Jonah’s life. Welcome to The City, a place where enchantment and malice entwine, and the way forward lies buried deep inside the heart.

"Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler" (The Times)

slow burner
Have loved the last 5 audiobooks by this author.
This one is much slower in pace- beautifully told but never really takes off until the last few chapters

slow to start but ....
a bit slow to start - but once under way, excellent. Story good, fascinating, interesting. Not done Koontz before, was enjoyably surprised and will check out other of his stuff. Reader superb.... he "got" the characters well.

Loved this book!
What a lovely surprise! I so enjoyed this book, loved the characters and the humanity and love within the story, even though there were some “butter down” moments for the characters. The narration was perfect, I will definitely be listening to this book again!

Was this really Dean Koontz?
Extremely boring novel.
The narrator did his best, but really didn't have a lot to work with.
Sorry I bought this, I have enjoyed all the author's other works .

Long Drawn Out Story
If you described the main points in this book, you could reduce it by 89 percent. Way too long descriptions had me forwarding by 30. I have read a few Koontz books which were very good. Horses for courses I was disappointed with this.

Bit slow
Too slow and boring for me, great narration, but just not my cup of tea, it’s just a story about his granddad and a piano, not for me.

Charming but overlong
This is a story that is charmingly told, but told too slowly and not enough happens. The different elements introduced oh-so-slowly don't really come together in any satisfying way at the end. Not one of Koontz's best.
