The novel’s central character, Holly Gibney, a middle-aged private investigator, has featured in other recent crime fiction by King. As well as forming part of crime-solving teams in the Mr. Mercedes trilogy (2014-2016) and The Outsider (2018), she appears in the first novella of the collection If It Bleeds (2020) – a story...
I’m not saying I dislike it but I’m finding it hard to get through and it’s incredibly short. I enjoyed the first chapter in Tull and I enjoyed the desert scenes but since then I’ve been finding it hard to focus on. I like the characters too but it just feels a bit… Boring in places?...

I expected it to be a good book but oh boy, did it exceed every...
I’m about halfway through Lisey’s Story, but it’s taken two tries to get here. The first time all of the kind of dopey vernacular he used really was too much for me. I had put it down for a few months when I read in an article that he considers it one of his most personal novels. That makes sense of course because it’s...
