![]() ![]() I love his work when he's reading a King novel.īelief in a cruel God and makes a cruel man. His performance was the saving grace and kept me listening to the audiobook. The final few chapters of the story felt odd, the social commentary on suicide felt clumsy and shoehorned in, again this jars with King's usual subtle and ironic style when he seeks to make a point or highlight a social issue. I still enjoy the lead character Ret Det Kermit Hodges but he's been wasted here. I felt the character of Holly to be particularly annoying and her character is full of lazy stereotypes. It was as if King had become bored with the characters and was writing only to fulfil a contractual agreement. It was ridiculously far fetched with no real suspense, no shocks, no unexpected twists or turns and next to no new character development. I found 'End of Watch' to be far below average, in fact for a Stephen King novel it was outright lazy. ![]() Which leads us to this final chapter of the trilogy: 'End of Watch'. The second instalment was distinctly average having lost the dark edge of its predecessor. The first novel Mr Mercedes was brilliant, dark, brooding and full of suspense. ![]() This trilogy has steadily declined over the three novels released. ![]()
