I'm always a stephen king fan, but this is the first crime novel I've read of his that wasn't tied to anything really supernatural. Wow am I blown away. I was so tense and terrified over what was gonna happen next. Like I was able to guess what some of the plot foreshadowing stuff was but then I would be forced to read my worse fears come to life. It's dark, gritty, horrifying, a brilliant cat/mouse game by a smart but pathetic man that felt like a crime drama episode.
