Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Bowing to peer pressure, I gave this book 4 stars instead of 4.5. A totally different, yet noticeably Stephen King book, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Developing characters you can easily picture, and fall in love with, this book keeps dropping hints then waiting chapters before totally explaining them in a way that I have come to enjoy most from Uncle Stevie. Throughout the story you feel as captivated as the female lead Stephanie, and entertained by the Abbott and Costello Duo Vince and Dave (Bowie???).A true joy to read, and at 178 pages, very quick read that's hard to put down. Some may be disappointed with the ending, but I, myself agree with the King's Afterward whole heartedly. Not your typical Crime novel, but definitely recommended to readers with an open mind and no expectations.
