About this listen

Billy Summers is Stephen King's gripping and compelling novel about a contract killer, an ex-marine, with one last payday to earn before he retires.... Once again, King sets his storytelling talent on a new path with this epic new thriller.

From legendary storyteller and number one best-selling author Stephen King, whose ‘restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained’ (The New York Times Book Review), comes a thrilling new novel about a good guy in a bad job.

Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he’ll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. So what could possibly go wrong?

How about everything.

This spectacular can’t-put-it-down novel is part war story, part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, and it features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption.

You won’t put this story down, and you won’t forget Billy.

This book was awesome!! I couldn’t put it down. I was completely invested in the characters from the start. The collaboration was on point. Loved how the story was told from various perspectives and bounced back and forth in time.

Not the usual SK type of book, a thriller not a horror type. I found 70% of it quite boring. The narrator didn't help either he spoke too fast and in several places his voice dropped and you could hardly hear what he was saying. All in all I would say SK stick to what you are best at

Disappointing

Mr King has proved yet again he understands the human psyche in all its forms.
Wonderful story.

I enjoyed the story and the performance of the voice actor, but as with a few Stephen King novels, I found the main female character to be annoying! I kept thinking of Alice as Frannie from The Stand.

Overall a good story, but probably one I won’t listen to again.

Slow and steady

I'm a big Stephen King fan Nd recent books have left me feeling a little flat, loved this, quickly became engrossed.
