| I wish there were more than three books in this engaging, thought-provoking series. I learned a lot about typewriters and repairing typewriters. The mystery was excellent, too. | |

| It's a trippy psychological thriller with high-wire tension and a head-scratching page-turner. However, the end's reveal felt rushed. ...more | |

"Holly" is about an octogenarian serial killer couple kidnapping and killing people. The fast-paced chapters keep you engaged, flipping pages, but the pace slows, and the book's middle drags and becomes repetitive. King does what he does best: entertai ...more |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced mystery. I liked the main character, Marcy, although, at times, I winced at her difficult decisions to involve herself in police matters. But, I understand why these are amateur sleuths' mysteries, and the reader ...more | |

“You can’t control what others think. The only thing you can control is yourself. Some people will look down on you for your choices in life, no matter what they are. You can’t do anything about that. The only thing you can do is decide how to live your own life. And to hell with everybody else”

“Never harbor regrets. Such useless emotions detract from an avowed purpose. Spare neither tears nor sentiment, which sap strength and energy. Rather, shake the dust of encumbering people and places from your feet and march bravely into the future. We are the women of the world, and we will not be denied.”

“Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.”

“We're not really afraid to die. We're only afraid of being forgotten. We know that we'll be forgotten, and the idea is unbearable, don't you agree? As time passes we become infrequent visitors in the minds of those left behind. The ones who clear out the house & divide up the belongings. Throw away the rubbish. And forget. If we knew that every evening someone lit a candle and sat down to think – thought about is if only for a few seconds – then we could depart this earth in peace. No-one will light a candle for me. Who would do that?”

“42. Most people will spend their lives doing jobs that they don't particularly enjoy, and will eventually save up enough money to stop doing those jobs just in time to start dying instead. Don't be one of those people. There's a difference between living, and just surviving. Do something that you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do.
It really is that simple.
And that hard.”
― The Infernals
