In Stephen King's End of Watch, retired detective Bill Hodges and his partner Holly Gibney investigate a series of apparent suicides linked to Brady Hartsfield, the elusive mass murderer from the City Center attack. Despite being comatose in a clinic, Brady has gained telekinetic powers and is using modified game consoles to manipulate victims' minds, compelling them to die by suicide. Sensitive topics such as death by suicide and mass murder appear in the book.
Stephen King's End of Watch delivers a gripping conclusion to the Bill Hodges trilogy with intense suspense and well-developed characters. While the supernatural elements receive mixed reactions, most commend King's storytelling and the satisfying resolution. However, some feel the pacing lags in parts, detracting from overall engagement.
Readers who enjoy suspenseful thrillers with elements of the supernatural, such as those found in Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, will be captivated by End of Watch by Stephen King. This novel combines a gripping crime narrative with psychological depth and eerie supernatural twists.
