The novel’s central character, Holly Gibney, a middle-aged private investigator, has featured in other recent crime fiction by King. As well as forming part of crime-solving teams in the Mr. Mercedes trilogy (2014-2016) and The Outsider (2018), she appears in the first novella of the collection If It Bleeds (2020) – a story which, according to King in an Author’s Note appended to Holly, presents in miniature the plot of this substantial new volume.

Meh...boy this article over sells it. It's an ok book, but possibly one of his worst. It reads like a Wednesday night ABC crime drama.

It's entertaining, but not very deep.
