Another great Stephen King novel, with a very dark theme. I really like Holly as a character, and Jerome and Barbara too. Reading them unravelling this horrible mystery was fascinating, and the narrator of the audiobook was great. It was a bit preachy at times (and this is coming from a liberal person), but it was interesting to see how someone’s view of COVID influenced how I considered their character. I don’t know if there’ll be another book with Holly, but if there is, I’d definitely want to read it.
