Never Flinch

A new tale from my favorite author—and featuring my favorite character set—didn't disappoint in the slightest. Never Flinch is riveting from start to finish, packed with compelling characters, a gripping plot, and timely nods to current events.I love seeing once again Holly, Barbara, and Jerome—King's recurring ensemble never fails to feel like old friends. Izzy and new character Corrie were great and hope to see them again, and even Sista Bessie left a lasting impression, though I suspect we may have seen her for the last time.King’s ability to blend suspense, emotion, and relevance is as sharp as ever. I couldn’t put it down.

A non-horror , crime thriller but still Stephen King . Very enjoyable and you'll page-turn to the end to learn who survives and who does not . I get a kick out of King's author hints about what is to befall his characters . Very enjoyable and lots of fun .

This is in regards to the Audible version.The narrator was very good in vocalizing the emotions of each of the characters.I liked this book because it didn't have a supernatural element (like the other Holly Gibney books). I would have liked a better resolution to the Chris/Chrissy storyline. It was easy to follow the two storylines, and I really liked the countdown chapters towards the end.

Full disclosure, to me, Stephen can nearly do no wrong. To say I'm a big fan - well, understatement isn't even close. Never Flinch, another "Holly" story is another easy to read exciting story. He gets grief for not returning to the horror genre but his ability to get your heart racing is still there - regardless of the genre. Bravo Stephen no disappointment from this fan.

King returns character Holly Gibney back to doing what she does best,using her special self depreciating personality to solve crime. She brings along old friends, familiar to readers as if they are once again reunited for sleuthing the depths of depravity. Bill Hodges would be so proud of how introvert Holly is keeping Finders Keepers alive and well.
