Über diesen Titel

 Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, AV Club, Variety, The Boston Globe, The Minnesota Star Tribune, Vulture, Men’s Health, Book Riot, New York Post, Goodreads, AARP, Paste, and more—one of the top psychological thrillers of 2025!

From Stephen King, “a writer of towering brilliance” (The Spectator), a “cinematic, brilliant” (The New York Times) psychological thriller exploring vigilante justice and a diabolical serial killer—featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters.

When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to “kill thirteen innocents and one guilty” in “an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man,” Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? Izzy turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help.

Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women’s rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate’s message of female empowerment is targeting her, disrupting her events, and growing bolder. Holly is hired to be Kate’s bodyguard—a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and his belief in his own righteousness.

Featuring a riveting cast of characters, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, King’s twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion—a feat of storytelling only this master of suspense and horror could pull off. Horror Psychothriller Thriller

Kritikerstimmen

"Jessie Mueller provides a rich, satisfying performance that should please fans of King’s audiobooks, particularly his most recent works. By now, King has fully embraced the detective genre. Private investigator Holly Gibney is back—with her dizzying intellect, ability to think through tough cases, and relatable quirks. The story is a revenge plot that has the murderer announcing to law enforcement a plan to kill “13 guilty and one innocent.” Along the way, Gibney hits the road, serving as protection for a famous women’s rights activist who also attracts credible, dangerous threats. Mueller fully embodies the many diverse voices that make up Gibney’s world of the Finders Keepers detective agency, including characters who break into song. Mueller’s tone embraces the mounting tension."

As said in the title, the story was just too long-stretched and you can see that SK is not in his prime anymore. Female reader did a great job, sometimes it was too much of her as well though (was she applying as a musician?)

Reader was good, story was boring and long-stretched

I’m a big King fan and have now read or listened to almost all his books but and love many of them. This one however is mediocre at best. The story is neither compelling nor scary nor , to be frank, particularly interesting.
I don’t like the characters and the bad guys are somehow paper tigers despite their horrible actions.
Can just be me but I don’t even like Holly in this book and I normally adore her.
Well if you write a gazillion books there’s bound to be a bad apple now and again.
The voice actress is brilliant however !

An okay book

It has many good parts, but so much is just hard to believe and overdone. Every time the revolver is mentioned it has to be explain again and again that it's Bill's old revolver for example. The Robinsons just fall from one live changing event to the next, really throws it off. They don't add anything to the story, could have been any other characters and I think it might have been a better story.

But, the narration and singing are amazing, don't think I would've finished the paper version, but Jessie Mueller delivered a great performance.

A weaker one

The narrator is fantastic, she really brings the characters to live. And there are a lot of them with many different storylines. It's not my favorite King, but at this point it's simply nice to have a new Holly story.

A lot going on

I loved the first 3 in the Holly series so pre-ordering this was a no brainier which is why I was shocked to be so disappointed. The story was pradictable and ramed do full of insignificant detail that is became boring. The voice was more appropriate for a Murder club novel than a Stephen King story giving it a air of light crime rather than King's amazing mystery suspense. I really was in two mind if I should leave a review after hearing Stephen King's end comment as I respect the situation but the struggle he explained in finishing it really showed. I wish I could go back to the high from listening to the last 3 books.

The disappointment was a shock
