4.0
If you're into crime, thriller novels with supernatural elements then you should absolutely love this.
Not read a King book in a while so it was very enjoyable to read this one for the first time, it's written so well like all of his novels and it was a pleasant surprise to come across a character from something else King wrote (love it when he does that)
Loses a star because of it's predictability.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Child death, Death, Gore, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Violence
It starts of very graphic with the molestation and murder of a young boy and the rest of the book is solving that crime.
