توضیحات
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl's desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to out-think and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.

Scene: Descriptive in a borderline gross and uncomfortable way, exactly what I expected from King. ****
Characters: Strong main characters that do not disappoint. ****
Story: My first King book, was not disappointed. You learn who the bad guys are pretty early, I wasn't sure where it would go, but I enjoyed finding out. ****
Recommend?: Yes, great starter King.
Your enjoyment of this book may vary based on your views toward COVID, the vaccine, Trump, etc., as well as your interest in Holly's character. Personally, I've really enjoyed Holly's other appearances and was excited to read her own full story ("If It Bleeds" aside). While this book definitely has some elements of horror present, it is more a thriller book through and through because we the audience knows who the killers are from chapter one, and it honestly felt a little bit different for a King book. Overall, this was a really enjoyable and creepy read.
