Although this is the 3rd book in the series I don't think you necessarily need to read the first two to enjoy the story.  Holly is a private investigator hired to find a missing woman.  Throughout the course of the investigation she starts to suspect that a serial killer is involved.  They way the story is written you know who the killer is as there are chapters written about the crimes.  The story is more of a will Holly figure it out type book.  Recommend more as a vacation read.  Although Stephen King it is not paranormal in topic.
