When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.

But Duma has been waiting for him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.

Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present.

Duma Key has replaced The Stand as my favorite KING novel. I just LOVE Edgar and Wireman. Listen to John Slattery beautifully narrate this tale of woe. This book is simply delightful and tragic in equal measure. Really don't want to give any spoilers - but read this and weep and smile and be delighted and terrified in equal measure. Well written and developed characters, you really feel that you get to know so many, so well. I love the way that Wireman has 'special phrases' and how he and Edgar develop a close understanding and relationship. I find this so easy to listen to and have used it almost as a relaxation tool.
11/10 from me.

I enjoyed the print version of this book very much, but the audio version isn't as sinister, I'm afraid. I think it's because King wrote this one in short (VERY short, sometimes) chapters, which work in print but not in audio. That said, it's a good story and has kept me entertained over two very long car journeys.

Another great book by Stephen King.. Loved it and wanted it to go on forever. Wonderfully believable characters, and a storyline that pulls you in.

Excellent

unfortunately, I found the narrator's voice so uninspiring that I found it difficult to concentrate on the story. very monotone, and all the characters sound alike. I think audiobook narration has moved on a lot from this.

lackluster narration

loved this audio reading. Duma Key is one of my favourite King books and I was a little reluctant to have it read to me but , kudos to the Narrator, you made the characters come to life and made me love it even more . thank you
