Publisher's summary

End of Watch is a compelling and chilling suspense novel which sees retired detective Bill Hodges back on the trail of his nemesis, Brady Hartsfield, the criminal the press called The Mercedes Killer.

Foiled in his attempt to commit a second mass murder, Hartsfield is confined to a hospital brain-injury unit in a seemingly unresponsive state. But all is not what it seems: Brady is able to influence both his physician and the hospital librarian to commit crimes in the outside world.

Now the technological genius has created a hypnotic electronic fishing game which compels users to commit suicide, and he is determined to target the three people who put him in hospital: Hodges and his sidekicks, Holly and Jerome.

Entertaining series

A good end to the trilogy, it became a little more 'out there' in true King fashion. Enjoyable overall.

Excellent conclusion, as per usual.

Excellent conclusion, to the trilogy.
There's another Holly story in If It Bleeds. Also an excellent book

Great narration

The trilogy concludes with the resurrection of the evil Mercedes Man. Typically great characters, including the villains. The narration was excellent, especially for Holly, who is on the autistic spectrum.

It's like coming home

I love these characters. King is the master. my highest praise to the reader, Will. Without a doubt one of the best in the business.

Entertaining

Sometimes King writes a crowd pleaser - this is one of those times. Be prepared to leave your brain at the door and have a bit of fun. This book is ‘out there’ compared to the other two and you need to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy it. It’s certainly not a classic like some of King’s others but it is entertaining.

And excellent finish to a very enjoyable trilogy

True, Stephen King form, lots of excitement, some really good quirks and enough fantasy to keep your focus. You never quite know where it’s going to go.

King is King.

Phenomenal. I'm falling in love with Hollyberry. How the narrator has evolved her throughout the series is out of this world.

Predictable right from the beginning...

Not one of the best works of Stephen King. Predictable right from the beginning. Narration was good like the first two books. But storyline fell short of attracting attention right from the beginning. No suspense. No twists.

Not the best of King

I loved Will's performance. The story though was wanting and I forced myself to just complete it because it is a Stephen King novel. I loved his work growing up but am not sure why this series was hard for me to love. I listened to all three books. I love the second one better than the first and this last one.
I found the Mountain Man series by Keith C Blackmore a much better book by far compared to this book by King.
