Really like this book, I do plan to reread it, but the end was somewhat of shock I guess? Kinda got let down a little and was faster paced at the end but it’s still a great book.

Minor: Child death

References to organized crime, police corruption, possible rape(?), death is a major thing here, light references to stalking and maybe schizophrenia or psychosis depending on how you view the two. A book that kinda also goes into the flying face of religion with how the afterlife is handed (that isn’t a spoiler, it’s a main reference in the story).

One of King's mystery novels, Later breathes life into the "child sees dead people" horror trope, adding some creepy twists along the way.
