A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring Bill Hodges, a retired cop who is tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of that notorious crime, has sent Hodges a taunting letter. Now he's preparing to kill again. Each starts to close in on the other in a mega-stakes race against time.

Clueless Gent’s Review

Another great story from the master of great stories. It was just a tad bit slow in the beginning, but then it sped up. To give you an idea of how suspenseful the ending is, I was up until 3:30 this morning, straining to keep my eyes open, turning pages, just so I could see how it ended. I’m already looking forward to the second book in the trilogy!

Highly recommended!

The Mistletoe Inn

I’ll start this review of The Mistletoe Inn with a little disclaimer.  The only reason I purchased this book – and paid full price, I might add – was because the Hallmark movie of the same name was going to premiere on Thanksgiving Day.  It stars one of my favorite actresses – Alicia Witt.  I was a little concerned because, even though I made the purchase several weeks before Thanksgiving, I didn’t actually start reading it until two days before Thanksgiving.  However, that turned out not to be a problem.  I eagerly tore through it in two days!

End of Watch

The first two books in this trilogy were pretty much thrillers – albeit good ones.  This last one, however, brings in some of the spookiness that Mr. King has made a lot of money writing about.  I didn’t expect that AT ALL, but I was very pleased.

The Man of Legends

I was utterly absorbed in this novel by Kenneth C. Johnson. From cover to cover, I was fully engaged. The storyline was utterly original, and it was written in a way to make it quite compelling!
