Anyway, as far as thrillers go, halfway through is when I got hooked. Took me day to finish the first half as I kept putting the book down. I just finished the second half after work because I couldn’t put the book down. Some predictable turns but entertaining nonetheless.

The main elements of the book I enjoyed was (of course), Holly Gibney. I have read two books with Holly’s character and enjoyed her in both. I also liked Bill’s character, also I am coming for Stephen King for killing off Janey. I was hoping the dog wouldn’t get hurt but instead it was Janelle I was supposed to be worried about. Also liked Jerome and honestly would love a seperate novel for his character exploring more detective work.
As for Brady’s character. Uh. He was definitely a lot. His instances of insest and violent behaviours made me feel especially disgusted by him and his mother. Frankie and their backstory really introduced a platform for all his homicidal behaviours and how his mother somewhat enabled these.
The plot was interesting, I do want to continue and read Finders Keepers. The plot was fast-ish? King’s writing has always been quite easy to get into which allows for an intriguing and captivating read.
Basically Hodges gets back into the case as Brady sends him a note in hopes to make him (Hodges) suicidal. This then make him question the case and how they interacted with Olivia. He employs other characters to complete the case especially to help computer-wise. Ultimately everything was wrapped up nicely with foreshadowed plot points being brought up here and there.
