Publisher’s Summary
#1 New York Times Bestseller * A New York Times Notable Book * An NPR Best Book of the Year
Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and resourceful characters, returns in this chilling “exploration of grief and delusion, just pure undistilled evil” (New York magazine) as she uncovers the truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town.
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency, hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly Gibney is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just passed away. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny’s desperate voice makes it impossible to turn her down.
Meanwhile, 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 also harboring a shocking, 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…for they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless. Now Holly must summon all of her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver these unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries in this chilling and unforgettable masterwork from Stephen King.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Good book…HILARIOUS reviews “
The story was good. For listeners, we really needed Will as the narrator. Patton gave Holly the personality we came to love.— D. King, Audible listener
3/5 stars — “Disappointed “
I’ve been looking forward to this book coming out because Holly is one of my favorite characters from Stephen King’s books. I feel like King just used his best character as a way to put out his political beliefs and ideas on Covid. I enjoy his books for the great stories. I wish he would just leave his political stuff to his twitter. Also the narration was poor compared to Holly’s previous appearances. I really wish Will Patton had narrated this book. It would’ve made it a little more palatable. This lady sounds like she’s just bored reading in class.— Keith Falke, Audible listener
3/5 stars — “Good story but stuffs left wing prop down your throat”
It is a good story, but no matter your views on the subject I feel it’s ridiculous and unnecessary in a story like this to rant unnecessarily about your personal views. Most of it was unnecessary for the story line.— Travis Nall, Audible listener
