About this listen
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by The New York Times Book Review, AV Club, Variety, The Boston Globe, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, Vulture, Men’s Health, Book Riot, The New York Post, Goodreads, AARP, Paste, and more!
From master storyteller Stephen King comes an extraordinary new novel with intertwining storylines—one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission, and another about a vigilante targeting a feminist celebrity speaker—featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters.
When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to “kill thirteen innocents and one guilty” in “an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man,” Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the investigation unfolds, Izzy realizes that the letter writer is deadly serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help.
Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women’s rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate’s message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her events. At first, no one is hurt, but the stalker is growing bolder, and Holly is hired to be Kate’s bodyguard—a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and his belief in his own righteousness.
Featuring a riveting cast of characters both old and new, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, these twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion—a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could pull off.
Thrilling, wildly fun, and outrageously engrossing, Never Flinch is one of King’s richest and most propulsive novels.

Once the story is started no way to stop listening
I love it and couldn't stop listening til the end, but I will have to also read the book as the story is very intricate and sometime I was getting confuse by which killers I was following. It will be a lot easier to read it (for me).
I love audiobook as I can listen while doing my "chores".
Thank you Stephen K. you are a real master of story telling.

Narration nearly killed it
I have loved Stephen King for decades and enjoyed this next Holly Gibney story but the narrator nearly made me shut it off in the first chapter. Zero differentiation of character voices and so little ‘colour’ to her voice made it hard to listen too.

Incredible narration
I’m a huge fan of these characters, so nice to see them back together. The narration was some of the best I’ve heard in a while.

I love Holly!
I love this book. The characters are so amazing. Stephen King always hits it out of the ballpark
