Summary
From the No. 1 bestselling writer, comes a terrifying serial killer thriller featuring King’s beloved character Holly Gibney from the Finders Keepers private detective agency.
Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.
Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Fans have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl’s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.
‘I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.’ Stephen King
Critic reviews
"Not content with being the master of horror and fantasy, in recent years Stephen King has earned a place among America’s finest crime writers." (Sunday Express)
"Undeniably one of the greatest storytellers of the past century, Stephen King is a master at revealing the horrors that lurk beneath the surface of what looks like ordinary life." (Daily Mail)

If there’s no Will, there’s no way.
This went back after about ten chapters..... couldn't listen to anymore of the monotone narration. Will Patton nailed the narration in the last books; this was like listening to someone read a school essay.

Amazing as always.
I am a “constant” reader but I think the narrator was great. The story was brilliant and the repeat characters really help. I’ve loved holly since Mr Mercedes and am really glad she got this outing.
If you love King you will love this.

Awful awful awful narrator
Oh my god I’ve waited so long for this book and then the whole thing is ruined by the god awful narrator !!!!!
That’s not Holly Gibney that’s just some samey female voice. Soooooo disappointing the reason we fell in love with Holly was because will patten made her who she is. He had her voice perfect this narrator hadn’t got a clue. Im so sad and disappointed why why why did you have to ruin such an amazing character with this awful narrator what we’re you thinking. You clearly weren’t. Sad listener unfortunately I couldn’t star it higher because that wasn’t Holly

Love that Justine Lupe narrated this!!
Great story. Very engaging. I thought SK may have overcompensated for the story gap (explained at the end of the book), by talking about COVID so much. While I echo all the sentiments I think fewer mentions would have been less repetitive and age better… I’m saying that it probably was so pervasive that the time and I’m just blocking it all.
Anyway I loved the story and love that Holly Gibney from the Mr.Mercedes TV miniseries narrates. Loved her in the show and loved her on this audiobook.

Not one of his best, the weakest of the series
Never really got going, the rest of this series is very good so this was a bit of a letdown

Holly is back!
Great story; didn’t like the new narrator for the character of Holly. It just didn’t feel like her. Phrasing and cadence all wrong,

Always genius
Gripping story with some absolute gruesome parts that can only come from the genius. That is Mr King. Wasn’t keen on the narrator. She made Holly sound like she was about 23
