4.0

More enjoyable than Mr. Mercedes for me somehow? Maybe it's that I'm more invested in the characters now. I enjoyed the alternating timeline, and the classic Kingism of how the first 1/3rd of the book seemed like a completely different story, but then that it all came together in the end. And of course, kids save the day!

 The King of villains strikes again. Excited to see what Ret. Det. Hodges, Jerome, and Holly are up to in the next installment and Holly's solo novel. Will Patton's narration is :chef's kiss:


**Spoilers below**

There's something slightly self-indulgent in writing about characters obsessed with a writer.
Everything about the rec center feels too lucky: That Morris finds the rec center as a haven as well, that Pete's mom still being conscious enough to notice where Pete went including that he took a key from the wall, that it was the only key missing and the key hook was labeled. Just all aligned a little too neatly.

3.0

The pacing and tension of this book feels incredibly dull when read back to back with the first installment of the series. The mystery was not very exciting. But it's still a King novel so I didn't hate it.
