I didn't start reading King until I was in my 30's and I'm not sure why. I was addicted from the first one I read. I do love his books more than the movies they've based on his books. So much more to the books.

With the title, it's pretty obvious where this will go but it's the who's, what's, where's, when's, and hows that will keep you turning the pages. Psychological suspense with twists and turns to keep you guessing until the truth is revealed.
