4.5

One of the first Stephen King books in a while I've had trouble putting down. I really like it when King leans into crime/thriller versus horror, it's a nice change of pace.

I would've rated it 5 stars, but the child death in this book really upset me, so it probably wouldn't be something I'd read again on a whim.
