This book gripped me like no other in recent years. I had not read King for a while and thought I might find the plot predictable but it wasn't and King has a way in which he creates several story lines and works them together, so the reader learns about the characters, and relate to them and understand their motivation for actions. The reader is drawn in not just to the world of the main character, but in this case, to the lives of several people, each going through a different path and so much of this touches on reality, yet then veers off into complete but almost believable fantasy. The world beneath and the world above have remarkable similarities and while the science is impossible, King has there ader utterly convinced at the existence of a land beneath ours. A wonderful escape into the land of make believe. The characters have their complexities, their motivations, whether this is for good or evil and the underlying narrative is the battle of good and the darkness. King is superb in this book.

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for that world or ours.
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad…
King proves he is master of a different genre than Fairy Tale with his characters and their interwoven lives. The secrets held by the main character, her motivation to do right and find the perpetrators of henious crimes are well relayed to the reader. I read this book in spurts, becoming enveloped in the stories of the characters, then needing time to digest before picking the book ( and stories) up again. King's descriptive powers come to the fore here and it is this that draws the reader ever more into the world of Holly and her unrelenting search for truth.
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…
