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).

It had a bit of a sluggish start but eventually it gets pretty entertaining, it was a fun read overall but there were a couple "reveals" here and there that felt kind of unnecesary to the story, and Liz's fate made me kinda sad.

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