Holly

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Justine Lupe, Stephen King

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to uncover the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.

Bonnie Dahl is missing . . .

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is meant to be on leave. But she finds it impossible to turn down Bonnie's mother's desperate request for help.

Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's abandoned bike.

Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage secret in the basement of their book-lined home.

Now Holly must summon all her formidable talents if she is to uncover the truth behind multiple disappearances in her Midwestern town.

'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

Critic reviews

"Not content with being the master of horror and fantasy, in recent years Stephen King has earned a place among America’s finest crime writers." (Sunday Express)

"Undeniably one of the greatest storytellers of the past century, Stephen King is a master at revealing the horrors that lurk beneath the surface of what looks like ordinary life." (Daily Mail)

A new favourite King novel

Really enjoyed the good people in this story. The bad guys were totally believable monsters too. This is one SK novel that shouldn’t be missed.

Another gift from Stephen King

I love Holly, I was so excited to see another book from the series! Love the characters, story, everything about it really. Parts where King put himself in the most. I look forward to everything Mr King writes.

Unpredictable and so satisfying

In typical King style this book exceeds expectations. He has a way of showing us the essence of our own failings and potential all at once. His magical use of the ordinary binds together into an extraordinary tale that captivates and terrifies at the same time. A brilliant story. Not easily forgotten

Loved it!

Octogenarian serial killers. SK never disappoints. Truly one of my favourite authors. Can’t wait for the next one!

The juxtaposition of good versus evil is unique.

I found myself filled with absolute revulsion at times in the story and then total admiration for Holly who seems to skip through holy terrors with determined dedication.
