Never Flinch by Stephen KingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
With NEVER FLINCH Stephen King does it again, bringing back several wonderful characters from the Bill Hodges trilogy in a new, suspenseful crime-fiction tale that takes three separate story lines and brings them together in a thrilling conclusion.
Private Investigator Holly Gibney - one of King's most underrated characters - takes on an assignment to protect women's rights activist Kate McKay from a would-be assassin during a book tour. Meanwhile her friend, and Buckeye City Detective, Izzy Jaynes, is tasked with tracking down a guilt-wracked serial killer who is seeking to exact vengeance on those responsible for wrongly sending an innocent man to prison. And if that isn't enough, soul and Gospel singer Sista' Bessie is coming out of retirement to go on tour with her first show at Mingo Auditorium in the center of the city.
NEVER FLINCH is a compelling, tension-filled story that will satisfy King fans young and old. While this is a standalone novel, I do suggest that you read the earlier books that feature Holly Gibney if you haven't already done so as there are references to events that occurred in those earlier stories which may be mild spoilers.
