First of all, I've read 10 books in the Hard Case Crime series and loved all of them except this one. I have also read all of Stephen King's novels up through "Misery". This is by far his worst book, judging by the ones I've read, and the worst entry in this series. If you're reading the Hard Case Crime series you might want to read this one to complete it, but it's a disappointment. Hope I'm not giving too much away, but the entire book is one conversation between three people about a mystery - if there had at least been a solution to the mystery at the end that would have been something. The mystery is uninteresting as it is - even more so without an answer.
