Summary
A sanity-twisting Koontz classic about a traumatized woman and the terrifying place she might never escape.
“Koontz is brilliant.”–Chicago Sun-Times
Susan Thornton watched in terror as her lover died a brutal death in a college hazing. And in the four years that followed, the four young men who participated in that grim fraternity ritual also died violently—or so she thought.
Twelve years later, Susan wakes in a hospital bed. Apparently involved in a fatal accident, she can’t remember who she is or why she is there. All she knows is that her life is unfolding into a menacing nightmare—and that the faces that surround her, are those of the four men involved in that murder years ago.
Have the dead come back to life? Or has Susan plunged into the abyss of madness? With the help of her neuro-surgeon, she desperately clings to her sanity while fighting to uncover who—or what—could be coming for her.

Gripping
I have just listened to this a second time. I was hooked again. I fell in love with the character (and voice) of Dr McGee and I thought the interplay between him and Susan Thorton was excellent. There is a great twist at the end.

Wondering why at the end...
I got to the end and found myself wondering why, not a bad story but the narration for me sounded like a Disney production. It picked up towards the end

Absolutely AWFUL performance!
Would you try another book written by Dean Koontz or narrated by Laural Merlington and Mel Foster ?
Absolutely NOT!
What didn’t you like about Laural Merlington and Mel Foster ’s performance?
First of all, having two people narrating in this way does not work. The male voice narrating a line of dialogue, followed by a female voice saying 'he said' sounds ridiculous. Laural Merlington made the 31 year old Susan Thornton sound like a whiny teenager. Mel Foster seemed to be doing an impression of The Count from Sesame Street for his first character.

Quit at 3rd chapter
Disappointing: just the main character talking to himself. Every new writer is instructed to show, don't tell.
I can't believe Koontz doesn't know about that.
