About this listen

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to uncover the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.

Bonnie Dahl is missing . . .

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is meant to be on leave. But she finds it impossible to turn down Bonnie's mother's desperate request for help.

Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's abandoned bike.

Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage secret in the basement of their book-lined home.

Now Holly must summon all her formidable talents if she is to uncover the truth behind multiple disappearances in her Midwestern town.

'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)

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.

Amazing as always.

Reading some of the extraordinary reviews on here from the outraged anti-woke brigade has been almost as entertaining as Stephen King’s novel - I do hope he gets the time to have a quick look through.
I loved the book and am so glad Stephen King is still churning out quality novels so regularly- most of them very good, a few excellent, one or two brilliant, and the occasional ‘oh dear…’ - but I’ll forgive him anything, as his skilful writing, the sheer volume of his work, and his love of literature makes him my favourite author.
So I recommend this book, and do give any of his other novels a read if you haven’t already tried them - particularly the short story collections - to give you a flavour of how varied his writing style can be.
But do read some of the vitriolic reviews on here first if you want to get a taste of true horror writing!

Delighted Holly’s still around!

I have been a Stephen King fan for many many years and I was looking forward to listening to Holly.

I got used to the narrator and I ignored the Covid references but I just didn't find the story very exciting. I am usually captivated and don't want the story to end but I felt underwhelmed by this one.

Come on Stephen, write stories that thrill us like you used to.

Disappointing

This is my first SK book for years and was totally engrossed in it. Hopefully Holly will be back on another adventure soon. Brilliant, chilling story just incredibly entwined.

Brilliant book
