Holly: The No. 1 Bestseller, now in paperback

I am fascinated to read this book after buying back on 2023 and kept it in my TBR for 2 years almost. No doubt with the plot being twisted and exciting just like King's signature style...it's creepy and insane.. Serial killings...yes you got it right! After conquering horror..he recently stepped into crime thrillers..and winning it

This was my first Stephen King book, clearly enjoyed reading it. The plot is full of twists and turns and it kept me from guessing till the end . The suspense was there till the end and the truth is horrific considering King is king of horror. King also referred Pandemic and the political situation during Covid .

•Multiple Disappearances •Gruesome Truth •Compelling and Twisted Thriller •Investigation •Terrifying ending The book is compelling and twisted. It is a real page turner and it keeps on the edge of the seat. Holly Gibney is such an intriguing character. The author has created such a powerful backstories of each character. Holly’s character has been encapsulated while solving the case of a missing person. The suspense stayed till the end and the ending shook me. The truth is indeed gruesome. There is a reference of pandemic. The author has very well described the pain of a mother. And the description of serial killers was terrifying. As Holly piece together all the information, they lead her to the missing person and then the intricate mysteries also engulfs her. She certainly did a great job. But I am sure if you will read the book, you will not expect that ending. The author has given great insight of psychotic serial killer’s brain. The ending is jaw dropping. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for eerie thriller with suspense and mystery.

Holly is a masterpiece by Stephen King. Make an outstanding series out of it! I loved her in the Outsider.

The book is a fun read but it may have peaked a little early. King stressed a bit on the social and political backdrop of the time but may have been a bit more subtle.

Perfect!

物語に信憑性を与える為についつい細部を書き込んでしまうのは筆者の業なのでしょうか? S&Wのリボルバーにはハンマーブロックという安全装置が組み込まれているので激鉄が当たる１発目のシリンダーの弾を抜く必要はありません。キングに銃器の知識が無い事は承知していますがプロットが破綻しています。
