Here’s a listener comment: “I listened to Odd Thomas and absolutely loved it. Narrators like Baker can make a successful series. It takes a special narrator to embody Odd Thomas, and David Aaron Baker renders the unassuming young fry cook’s simplicity with an innocent, unaffected style. From acclaimed master of suspense Dean Koontz, this series stands out for its “curious mixture of whimsy, gentle humor, and horror” ( The New York Times). And occasionally, he gets to prevent a catastrophe from happening. So, in between slinging hash at the Pico Mundo Grill and mooning over the beautiful (and very much alive) Stormy Llewellyn, Odd passes along otherworldly crime-solving tips to the town’s sympathetic police chief. They don’t talk, but they do try to communicate with him. A gentle and genuinely caring young man, Odd Thomas can’t help but get caught up in the problems of other people - including dead people. Meet Odd Thomas, a 20-something short-order cook in a small desert town who sees dead people and does his best to serve the silent souls who seek him out.
