Holly
Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town.
“Sometimes the universe throws you a rope.” —BILL HODGES
Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.
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 harboring 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 outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.
“I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr. Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.” —STEPHEN KING

Can’t even get through the first part without King’s Trump bashing getting in the way of what might have been an ok book.

Could’ve been a good novel without all the political rhetoric. Felt like I was reading a novel written by MSNBC or CNN. Save your money. Stuart woods and King should get together and write a book. zombie TDS apocalypse. Why do these authors feel like we need to know their political views?

A great glimpse into the world of Finders Keepers and company. If you read the trilogy starting with Mr Mercedes, jump right in. If not do yourself a favor and read them first and come to this of it read The Outsider (that was my first dealings and it led me to the trilogy) But PLEASE Mr King leave politics out of your stories unless it moves the plot along. Yes we understand your beliefs but it was painful and you kept at it. I know you don’t need the money however alienating slightly over 1/2 of the voting population and having former fans swearing off of your books is just cray cray.

It has very interesting moments to push reading along, but I was able to predict certain moments. The ending was less than ideal. I needed more closure or bigger events.
