Holly: The No. 1 Bestseller, now in paperback
Autor Stephen Kingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2024
'I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her' STEPHEN KING
Bonnie Dahl is missing . . .
Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is meant to be on leave. But she finds it impossible to turn down Bonnie's mother's desperate request for help.
Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's abandoned bike.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage secret in the basement of their book-lined home.
Now Holly must summon all her formidable talents if she is to uncover the truth behind multiple disappearances in her Midwestern town.
'Holly Gibney has matured into one of [King's] most memorable creations - a resourceful private investigator . . . Truly chilling, it aptly demonstrates King's inimitable talent as a storyteller' Daily Mail

Recenzii
Not content with being the master of horror and fantasy, in recent years Stephen King has earned a place among America's finest crime writers
Undeniably one of the greatest storytellers of the past century, Stephen King is a master at revealing the horrors that lurk beneath the surface of what looks like ordinary life
King's wonderfully awkward private detective Holly Gibney returns in this black-hearted parable of American life in the Covid era... As horrifying as anything King has written
Stephen King's prolific late flowering continues with a new outing for his detective Holly Gibney, chasing down serial killers in Holly
Lavished with the kind of dialogue most mortal writers can only dream of crafting... When it comes to the four-wheeled page-turner, Stephen King is like a vintage car enthusiast... King's portrait of Holly is sympathetic, subtle and seductive. His ability to recruit his audience to the colours is just one of his best qualities as a compulsively entertaining artist... brilliantly observed... very moving... He understands, better than almost any living writer, how to suspend disbelief... Good prose, King demonstrates, does not work in the way some writing schools pretend, by trying to crack some hidden code, master a witchy formula, or unearth the golden key to narrative magic. Fiction succeeds when it gets inside the reader's head, and engages our secret hearts and minds.
Masterful... lyrical and horrifying
Nail-biting and disturbing, it turns into a helter-skelter race to the finish line
Chilling... Holly has appeared in King's fiction before, but this is the first time she has taken a starring role and she is certainly worth a novel in her own right... Nail-biting crime fiction and a dystopian vision of contemporary America
A chilling mystery from the thriller master
From a classic hard-boiled premise, the investigation unspools in rich, generous storytelling... What makes King's work so much more frightening than that of most other suspense writers, what elevates it to night-terror levels, isn't his cruelty to his characters: It's his kindness
King at his gruesome best
King has conjoined his mastery of the macabre to an equal command of the crime genre... [he] transfixes us as thoroughly as ever
Beautifully constructed... Masterful entertainment
A masterpiece of thriller fiction... in HOLLY there are enough edge of the seat moments, enough gross moments, enough nerve-jangling moments to satisfy the most ardent of Stephen King fans... it's an enormously satisfying read... you will not be disappointed!
Truly chilling, it aptly demonstrates King's inimitable talent as a storyteller
Once again, King proves he is the master of versatility with this brilliant edgy thriller
A richly imagined and grisly tale... Holly is wholly her own. She's a thorny, determined protagonist... A compelling page-turner
A twisty tale that engages the reader from the first page and keeps you enthralled
Stephen King has always been a first-rate storyteller. . . Holly is as nuanced as anything he has done.
Holly is a formidably dogged and persistent investigator... This is Stephen King at his hardcore crime thriller best, and the delightful Holly Gibney is a real keeper
This compelling read about the nature of evil and the dangers of bad science will keep you gripped to the last page
Holly has horror and heart by the bucket-load... seeing Gibney spread her wings is a joy
Holly Gibney has matured into one of the storyteller's most memorable creations
If you want to properly scare someone this Christmas, then I'd advise plumping for Stephen King's new novel . . . Utterly nail-biting - and loads of fun
A bone-chilling look at the consequences of bad science, this gripping read explores the very nature of evil
King's portrait of Holly is sympathetic, subtle and seductive. Brilliantly observed . . . very moving . . . He understands, better than almost any living writer, how to suspend disbelief
[Holly] leaps off the page, dogged and resourceful . . . Masterful . . . lyrical and horrifying
