Christine |
This is scary, rather vintage King, but a marvellous read for train or plane. It's realistic, not science fiction, but with, as usual with King, a different dimension. Riveting.

Finders Keepers |
This most recent King thriller featuring the odd trio of retired detective with two unusual helpers, returns to a favourite theme: the serial-fiction writer and an unstable fan's obsession with the main character's fate. Now with great originality and insight, the author portrays a reader so involved with what is unquestionably real to him that it must lead to disaster. Even better than the first and hopefully not the last in this series.

Mr Mercedes |
This is the next to most recent of the series of thrillers showing the 'down to earth' side of King. The retired cop and the perpetrator of an unsolved crime has frequently been done, but again King manages to find a completely original angle. A favourite theme, the vintage car and a host of unlikely, but certainly believable characters, plus a breath-takingly fast pace and a chilling cat-and-mouse suspense make this a super read for travel, holiday or just relaxation.
