Publisher's Summary

The spectacular finale to the New York Times best-selling trilogy that began with Mr. Mercedes (winner of the Edgar Award) and Finders Keepers 

2017 Audie Award Finalist for Fiction and Best Male Narrator 

In End of Watch, the diabolical "Mercedes Killer" drives his enemies to suicide, and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don't figure out a way to stop him, they'll be victims themselves. 

In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Something evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room. 

Retired police detective Bill Hodges, the unlikely hero of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, now runs an investigation agency with his partner, Holly Gibney - the woman who delivered the blow to Hartsfield's head that put him in the brain injury ward. When Bill and Holly are called to a suicide scene with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into their most dangerous case yet, one that will put their lives at risk as well as those of Bill's heroic young friend, Jerome Robinson, and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield is back and planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends but on an entire city. 

In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding supernatural suspense that has been his best-selling trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and chilling suspense. No one does it better than King.

End of loosely based trilogy

This was a great end to what started in Mr. Mercedes. Story wise, King remains the king in hooking me into the characters quickly.

Wil Patton did a marvellous job narrating with distinct voice characterizations and great vocal animation.

The only downside is the trilogy ends here but a great sign off to excellent characters. Superb set of books with the last two (the ones I listened to as audiobooks) being well performed.

Will Patton's performance is so good as per usual.

It jumps into supernatural a bit which I wasn't expecting. But in the end, the relationship between the characters was really beautiful and made it worth the read.

A wonderful conclusion to a great series

Aside from Kings terrific writing, Patton does a wonderful job and brining the characters to life and helping the personalities King has created come to life. End of watch is a perfect conclusion to this series and does a great job at neatly putting it to bed.
