I loved the Mr Mercedes series and really liked the first 2 books in the Finders Keepers series so when I saw this book I probably read the first line of the blurb and that was it.
As a result I went on a fascinating, dark, mystery ride across American Politics, Literature and attitudes to the pandemic.
Stephen King winds together so many threads to create a book that leaves you guessing just what will happen next whilst also creating debate on serious social issues.

Please be aware there are very graphic descriptions of things that appear in the content warnings. Particularly racism/racial slurs, homophobia/lesaphobia and graphic violence.
