I would prefer her as a travelling companion over Annamaria. On the other hand, it’s Odd Thomas! And he still has his quirky, funny ways, and Edie Fisher is a wonderful character, much like Odd. I realize it was not meant to be a “feel-good” book, but the depths often turned to boredom. The descriptions of rooms that Odd enters seems a little much, and his philosophical talks to himself also seem to drag the book down. This book, while highly entertaining, was also a little long. Odd will have to travel many roads, not all in this world, to find the kids. Unfortunately, there is more to this cult than your everyday group of crazies. It turns out that there are more than three children being held hostage, and that a devil-worshiping cult is behind it. Alfred Hitchcock is also still along for the ride.
Edie has a few tricks up her sleeve, and friends that come in very handy. Along the way he meets limo-driving Edie Fisher, an 86 year-old feisty lady who has recently lost her chauffeur, and insists they can help each other. Odd has no choice but to try to rescue the kids, and so he follows the trucker. This “cowboy” tries to kill Odd, who has a disturbing vision of three children being murdered when he touches the man. On a trip to town, Odd encounters a truck driver who is dressed up like a rhinestone cowboy. In addition, he travels with two dogs, one of whom is a ghost.
He is currently travelling with a very pregnant Annamaria (who insists she has been pregnant a long time and has longer to go), as well as a boy he recently rescued from Roseland, a rather strange manor estate. Odd is a reluctant hero who sees the dead, and helps them to move on. Deeply Odd by Dean Koontz is the 6th in the Odd Thomas series.
