I don’t know how Steven King is able to write a detective trilogy where we as the reader know everything that is happening, but are still completely intrigued as the detective is finding it out. I thought this was a great ending to a wonderful horror trilogy. 

Honestly this trilogy has started a new obsession with Steven King and now I have plans to read everything he has written.

Overall it was a well-written story and a decent conclusion to the trilogy. It was unexpectedly a little sci-fi which I didn't buy. The weakest of the 3 books. Felt odd that the 1st and 3rd focus on Brady but the 2nd was mostly different people. Like oh, we're going back to this guy? OK. 


<SPOILERS>
Not only was it unbelievable that Brady's gun shot was stopped by a bunch of stuff in Freddie's breast pocket but you're telling me she could fit all that stuff in her breast pocket?! That's one hell of a pocket capacity!
