Title: Not what it should be
Review: I have read other books in this series and simply put this novel does not fit in with the rest - or with the cover image the publishers have given it. King may be a great author (as the four pages of quotes in the front claim) but this is not a Hard Case Crime story.From the cover one would expect a fast paced, noir thriller, with a femme fatal, and probably some sex, maybe gun play or conflict of some sort. If this is want you want look elsewhere because you won't find them here. The pace is glacial, the characters dull, and the conflict non-existent. You might as well be reading a book about three people watching paint dry. Furthermore mystery fans will find the story structure very unsatisfying.As a experimental novel it might be interesting or even genius, as a noir pulp thriller it's a dud.
