Sinossi
In un gelido lunedì di gennaio, Bill Hodges si è alzato presto per andare dal medico. Il dolore lo assilla da un po' e ha deciso di sapere da dove viene. Ma evidentemente non è ancora arrivato il momento: mentre aspetta pazientemente il suo turno, infatti, Bill riceve la telefonata di un vecchio collega che chiede il suo aiuto, e quello della socia Holly Gibney. Ha pensato a loro perché l'apparente caso di omicidio-suicidio che si è trovato per le mani ha qualcosa di sconvolgente: le due vittime sono Martine Stover e sua madre. Martine era rimasta completamente paralizzata nel massacro della Mercedes del 2009. Il killer, Brady Hartsfield, sembra voler finire il lavoro iniziato sette anni prima dalla camera 217 dell'ospedale dove tutti pensavano che sopravvivesse in stato vegetativo. Mentre invece la diabolica mente dell'Assassino della Mercedes non solo è vigile, ma ha acquisito poteri inimmaginabili, tanto distruttivi da mettere in pericolo l'intera città. Ancora una volta, Bill Hodges e Holly Gibney devono trovare un modo per fermare il mostro dotato di forza sovrannaturale. E a Hodges non basteranno l'intelligenza e il cuore. In gioco, c'è la sua anima. Dopo «Mr. Mercedes» e «Chi perde paga», King ha scritto il capitolo conclusivo della sua trilogia poliziesca, nella quale l'autore, come ci ha ormai abituato, combina il suo senso della suspense con uno sguardo lucidissimo sulla fragilità umana. Dalla trilogia di Bill Hodges sarà tratta una miniserie TV diretta da Jack Bender.

Is it possible that reading the final book of a series made me love the whole series even more? Yep. I gave the first book Mr. Mercedes four stars. I liked that book. Brady was the perfect evil character against Hodges good guy. Then we had Finders Keepers , which I 3 starred. I liked it but it just Leggi tutto
Now that I've stopped weeping like child at a funeral, I believe I can review this one as well as speculate on the future of Stephen King's career. Let's do this. To the surprise of some, I was a huge fan of Mr. Mercedes . The book was fresh, a nice change of direction, and it showed King's love for t Leggi tutto
I am so in love with the Bill Hodges Trilogy . Truly an all-time favorite trilogy for me. My whole heart swells just thinking about it. I have a huge crush on Bill Hodges and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He was real to me and I was in love. I felt what he felt. I wanted him to succeed. I was on his sid Leggi tutto
If I look at it as the glass being half-full then this is the best of the books King has done with the Bill Hodges character. On the other hand it’s still pretty much a shoulder shrug of a three star read which tells you how little I thought of this trilogy so I’m pretty sure that cup is half-empty Leggi tutto
From bed on my iPhone at 3:30am .... It’s OVER .... and I’m a little sad!!! I’m going to miss Bill Hodges - and Holly - and Jerome...and Pete... even pretty gray eyes, Izzy. “FINDING KEEPERS” was my VERY FAVORITE......the STRONGEST 5 stars - ( for me) ... But this last one had an interesting ZAPPING-g Leggi tutto
END. OF. WATCH. is unfortunately the end of the Bill Hodges trilogy. I will miss Detective Kermit William Hodges, (his personal story) and his computer-wiz brainy partner Holly Gibney, but not what's in Room 217 of the Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic at Kiner Memorial. BOOK 3 begins with a flashback of Leggi tutto
I'm going to try and make this review as quick and painless as possible -- if you liked this book you're not going to want to hear me bellyache about it, and if you didn't like this book, you already feel you've wasted enough of your precious reading time on this series and are just ready to move th Leggi tutto
"Because things can get better, and if you give them a chance, they usually do." Retired Detective Bill Hodges and his sidekick Holly find themselves investigating a recent spree of suicides. But all of the dead are connected by a common thread: each of them had been in previous contact with Brady Ha Leggi tutto
Well, we have come to the end of the road, or the "End of Watch." I enjoyed this trilogy and love all of the books but I loved different books in the trilogy for different reasons. The first because - HELLO - some maniac has done went whack a do and ran over a bunch of people in a Mercedes. The seco Leggi tutto
Not my favorite of the series, but a good finish to a series I enjoyed a lot. This book is more of a sequel to Mr. Mercedes than the 3rd book in series. I think you could skip Finders Keepers and not miss a thing. But, I don't recommend that as the second book of the series was my favorite! I like Hol Leggi tutto
