Story
Quinn Quicksilver was born a mystery—abandoned at three days old on a desert highway in Arizona. Raised in an orphanage, never knowing his parents, Quinn had a happy if unexceptional life. Until the day of “strange magnetism.” It compelled him to drive out to the middle of nowhere. It helped him find a coin worth a lot of money. And it practically saved his life when two government agents showed up in the diner in pursuit of him. Now Quinn is on the run from those agents and who knows what else, fleeing for his life.

For Megan, keeping her boy safe and happy is what matters. But Woody believes a monstrous evil was behind his father’s death and now threatens him and his mother. And he’s not alone in his thoughts. An ally unknown to him is listening.

Story
There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How to hide within its shadows. When to hunt. He roamed from town to town, city to city, choosing his prey for their beauty and innocence. His cruelties were infinite, his humanity long since forfeit. But still... he had not yet discovered how to make his special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death. This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might do to ensure that he does not visit us.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them.

Not dean's best book
- By Miriam on 24-09-2016
Publisher's Summary
Who is Ashley Bell? From number-one New York Times best-selling author Dean Koontz comes the must-listen thriller of the year, perfect for listeners of dark psychological suspense and modern classics of mystery and adventure. Brilliantly paced, with an exhilarating heroine and a twisting, ingenious storyline, Ashley Bell is a new milestone in literary suspense from the long-acclaimed master.
Critic Reviews
"[Suzy] Jackson narrates with verve and also conveys a folksy quality in Bibi's dialogue with friends, her parents, and her boyfriend, a Navy SEAL. With dramatic flair, Jackson collapses the distance between the protagonist and listeners. Her deliberate pacing and Koontz's inventiveness as a storyteller are a terrific pairing." (AudioFile)

Disappointing
Years ago I adored Dean Koontz's writing and devoured his entire catalogue, eagerly awaiting his next book. I took a chance with Ashley Bell because it was free with my membership. I couldn't finish it. I preserved for just over half the book. I found the writing and story verbose yet disjointed, with painful dialogue. I found the narration poor, with the voice acting grating.
My tip: pick something else!

doesn’t deliver what it promised
It’s supposed to be mystery and suspense, instead it’s fantasy and supernatural, 15 hrs in and I still don’t know what’s going on, huge waste of time, I’m giving up. Just sorry for the narrator who did a great job on this lost cause.

Just Wow!
I love Dean Koontz and this did not disappoint, in fact I think it was one of his best. I hope there’s sequels! Bibi was such a well thought out character, they’re all so real, and though it took me a minute to figure out exactly what was happening, I was riveted. Suzy Jackson did a great job narrating.

Grew On Me - Very interesting
Would you consider the audio edition of Ashley Bell to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version - but the audio version was very good.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Pogo was endearing.
What about Suzy Jackson’s performance did you like?
Suzy Jackson's performance was solid. Much better than a lot of audio narrators I've listened to recently
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, but due to "spoilers" I don't want to say what it was :D
Any additional comments?
During the first couple of chapters I wasn't that excited. It seemed like a totally different type of novel than Dean Koontz normally writes (I'm a fan of his earlier works). But at some point I got sucked in and ended up listening to it over 2 days - couldn't put it down.

Sorry just cant get into it.
The over-explanation of every aspect of the environment, the room, and the footpath does my head in. Like a movie, if it doesn't grab me from the start, it normally means I leave the cinema. This book is the same sorry, it just never launched me. I'm out 1/4 of the way in.

The author did an amazing job of weaving stories within stories and leaving me unsure as to what was real and what was supernatural. Very clever and a satisfying conclusion.

Very different story line
Overall very interesting however it was bit of a slog. I struggled to keep track in the beginning as the story swapped back and forth between different times lines. Then it seemed to finally take off and was quite enthralling only to drift off a bit
Towards the end. Narrator was very good.

Awful
Without giving away spoilers a writer writes about how powerful a writer can be. To state the ending was very unsatisfactory for reasons my junior school teacher warned us against explains my reaction to this story. Soft and sweet voiced narrator miscast.
