We are finally finishing of the Bill Hodges series, I do know that Barb is enjoying this more than I am...lol. After you see what I have to say go on over to Booker T's Farm and see what Barb thought.
In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Something evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake, and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room.
Retired police detective Bill Hodges, the unlikely hero of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, now runs an investigation agency with his partner, Holly Gibney—the woman who delivered the blow to Hartsfield’s head that put him on the brain injury ward. When Bill and Holly are called to a suicide scene with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into their most dangerous case yet, one that will put their lives at risk, as well as those of Bill’s heroic young friend Jerome Robinson and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield is back, and planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends, but on an entire city.
In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding, supernatural suspense that has been his bestselling trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and chilling suspense. No one does it better than King.
So feel like this trilogy comes full circle with this book and it involves the man they dubbed "Mr. Mercedes" and some then Bill and Holly as they are racing against time trying to stop some horrible things from happening.
It's really hard to talk about this one without spoiling the other book in the trilogy so this will probably be short. There is a thing with some weird experiments happening at a hospital and there is a game that is making people commit suicide which is why Bill and Holly are racing to figure out what is going on and how it's happening and how to stop the person.
I like the characters in this story, I just think that Stephen Kings writing is boring which is weird because as a teen I loved his books so much, which just shows you taste in reading happens. It does have a bit of a sad ending but I was prepared because I already knew what was going to happen to a character (read Outsider which Barb and I didn't know was part of the Holly books till after). I am curious to see how things progress with the spin off books I haven't read.
3.25 stars (3 on Goodreads)
