This was my first audiobook experience, so that may alter my overall opinion of the book. I randomly picked this title, and I have not read any of the other Holly Gibney stories, so some of her backstory was lost on me. I think I would’ve had trouble finishing this book had I read the print version. You already know the culprits and the crimes fairly early on, Holly’s story just fills in the details and leads it to its end. That being said, I did enjoy the ending and found it thrilling. This is not my favorite Stephen King book by any means, but I ended up enjoying it more than I thought. I think it was a good audiobook pick; the narrator was pretty good.
