The first book I've read in a while that I couldn't wait to get back to every time I had to put it down. I also love the character of Holly Gibney (and am looking forward to the new book coming next month). That said, I would have preferred a little less of the supernatural element. I felt the same way about the Bill Hodges books. King writes excellent crime fiction and I'm always a bit disappointed when he veers from a straight crime narrative into the supernatural.
