Publishers WeeklyRelentlessly paced and brilliantly orchestrated, this cat-and-mouse game
of a novel is one of King's most engrossing and topical horror stories.
At the center of the action is heroine Rose McClendon, a battered wife
who starts life anew by leaving her police officer husband, a
consummately cruel man depicted by King as a paragon of evil. Crowded
with character and incident, the novel builds to a nearly apocalyptic
conclusion that combines the best of King's long novels?the breadth of
vision of The Stand, for example?with the focused plot and careful
psychological portraiture of Dolores Claiborne. The story of Rose's
joyous growth from tortured wife (her persecution gruesomely but
realistically portrayed) to independent woman alternates with the
terrifying details of her husband's deliberate pursuit to create
unflagging tension. The book is a phantasmagorical roller-coaster ride,
peopled by a broad array of indelibly characterized men and women and
fueled by an air of danger that is immediate and overwhelming.
