End of Watch

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Will Patton

End of Watch is a compelling and chilling suspense novel which sees retired detective Bill Hodges back on the trail of his nemesis, Brady Hartsfield, the criminal the press called The Mercedes Killer.

Foiled in his attempt to commit a second mass murder, Hartsfield is confined to a hospital brain-injury unit in a seemingly unresponsive state. But all is not what it seems: Brady is able to influence both his physician and the hospital librarian to commit crimes in the outside world.

Now the technological genius has created a hypnotic electronic fishing game which compels users to commit suicide, and he is determined to target the three people who put him in hospital: Hodges and his sidekicks, Holly and Jerome.

Entertaining series

A good end to the trilogy, it became a little more 'out there' in true King fashion. Enjoyable overall.

Excellent conclusion, as per usual.

Excellent conclusion, to the trilogy.
There's another Holly story in If It Bleeds. Also an excellent book

Great narration

The trilogy concludes with the resurrection of the evil Mercedes Man. Typically great characters, including the villains. The narration was excellent, especially for Holly, who is on the autistic spectrum.

It's like coming home

I love these characters. King is the master. my highest praise to the reader, Will. Without a doubt one of the best in the business.

Entertaining

Sometimes King writes a crowd pleaser - this is one of those times. Be prepared to leave your brain at the door and have a bit of fun. This book is ‘out there’ compared to the other two and you need to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy it. It’s certainly not a classic like some of King’s others but it is entertaining.
