Some I like more than others but I am always sad when they end. Some of his stories are funnier and some may be a little darker but they are all enjoyable. ![]() It IS the same old Odd and his stories are always special. How many books do that?

That may sound silly to you, and I guess it does to me too (a little) but I must admit that when I recognized his mannerisms and felt his character and heard his same voice, well, I felt comforted.

Still, the prescient Annamaria insists that they’ve been led there for a reason. ![]() But there’s far more to Roseland than meets even the extraordinary eye of Odd, who soon suspects it may be more hell than haven.Ī harrowing taste of Roseland’s terrors convinces Odd that it’s time to hit the road again. ![]() In the wake of Odd’s most recent clash with lethal adversaries, the opulent manor’s comforts should be welcome. And, for the moment, it’s also a port in the storm for Odd Thomas and his traveling companion, the inscrutably charming Annamaria. Once presided over by a flamboyant Hollywood mogul during the Roaring ’20s, the magnificent West Coast property known as Roseland is now home to a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants.
