Helpful Score: 2

This book is unique in that's it's a dramatic monologue...the entire story is told through the words of one woman being questioned by the police, and only through her verbal reactions do you know anything at all about the setting. I'm not sure I'd like to read many books written this way, but as a one-time experiment, it works. Within the story, Dolores tells many stories of her life and that of her fmily and employer, whom she is suspected of killing. It's an odd way to tell a story, but King's style does show in the detail of Dolores' verbal recollections. I enjoyed it very much.
