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.©2013 Dean Koontz (P)2014 Recorded Books Inc Fiction Genre Fiction Metaphysical & Visionary Science Fiction Supernatural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Urban Crime Paranormal Heartfelt Mystery

I have loved Koontz since I first picked up my dad’s copy of Door to December 30 years ago. I was hooked and have read pretty much everything he’s written since

This was a disappointment. Brilliantly performed by the narrator, but just took forever to get going, and whilst I loved the linking together of the past murders, the whole tale just sort of muddled along.

I suppose one disappointing read in the dozens I’ve loved is not a bad ratio though!

Probably my least favourite Koontz book

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 burner

I couldn't wait for this story to end. One of Mr Koont's worst books. Nothing wrong with the narrator, it's not his fault that the story was so dull and uninteresting.

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.

slow to start but ....
