Peter's Reviews > Holly

Overshadowed by Covid and Trump, Holly is drawn into her most intriguing case so far. Missing persons. She is book by the mother of the recent missing person, a librarian. Where did she go to? Step by step she is able to establish connections to other missing persons. Who abducted them and why? Stephen King comes up with a very remarkable novel. Evil is old and comes in a form you wouldn't suspect. Is there any serial killer out there? Nail biting crime meets issues we all face everyday: old age and death. Can old age and declining fitness stopped in a way? The master of horror comes up with an outstanding, unusual and extremely compelling novel here. All the ingredients are known, true, the references to Covid and Trump are sometimes as annoying as the items themselves, but to me this definitely is the crime/horror novel of the year. We get deep insight into Holly's personality, his most complicated character so far. This is storytelling on highest level, can't say otherwise. Hope we hear more of Holly in the next years. Highly recommended!
