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

"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)

Delighted Holly’s still around!
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!

Disappointing
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.

change of narrator
It took a short time for the new narrator as I am so used to Will Patton. however, I think that we had Justine Lupe from the start then we would have no problem. She is just different but equally good. The story was, as always, wonderful. More Holly, please please please. Thanks Mr King.

Hope Holly returns
Having followed Holly’s amazing journey of increasing self confidence and her eclectic, macabre adventures I’m really hoping there will be more about her in the future. This is one detective agency that needs to have more written about it. I’d love to know more about the origins of the supernatural entities she has gone up against even though they’re not in this particular story.

Good tale with creepy baddies
A bit slow to start but that's not unusual with Steven King. It's really great to find Holly is still growing as a individual. She comes across as someone who is just about hanging on but she's getting better. The way nobody suspects the murderers is believable and the ending is satisfying.

He’s done it again
Unputdownable, great narrator and an excellent listen. Only criticism is that I kept thinking Holly was black (because of the film)

Holly. Yes!
Old school King. Underatted protagonist, evil (wow) mainplayers, usual band of likeable & necessary extras. Loved this novel, loved Holly. Next with this character please Mr K!

Great
Very enjoyable story and I also enjoyed the narrator. Get some folks miss the previous narrator but I wouldn't mark the performance down because of that. It is just different. You may not enjoy this one if you are an anti-vax conspiracy theorist.
