How fantastic is this cover? I love the color scheme and the blood-red sky behind this old house. It hits on all cylinders if you are looking for a spooky read. Now that last sentence was really mixing metaphors!
This book takes place during COVID-19, and it is fiction, so is this Covid the same as ours? Who knows. If the last thing you want to do is read about Covid, or if reading about someone very sick with Covid or dying from it, this book is not for you.
Now if you are okay with that, this is a good read. I think Stephen King does a good job having characters that are very worried about the pandemic as well as people who don't believe it exists and various points in between. I thought the characters were fleshed out so they didn't feel one-note based on their personal beliefs.
The story is good and stands alone, I know Holly has featured in other stories, but I haven't read them and I didn't feel like I was missing anything when I read this book.
If you like P.I. mysteries, I think you'll enjoy this book. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was very good, I could easily tell who was who as she spoke.
Yesterday I was going to make stew, but then I decided to make a pot roast in the slow cooker, it was decent, but I felt like it was missing something. I should have added some tomato paste, but I was out. That was a mistake!
An old picture that I love- I believe this was 2009!
