Have You Seen This - Stephen King's New Book - The Outsider!!!!

I'll admit it - I have a love/hate relationship with Stephen King's books.  Some of them I love (The Stand and The Shining!), and others not so much (Tommyknockers).  
But when I saw the cover reveal for his new book - The Outsider -  on EW I was completely hooked! 
Then I read the summary, and I was hooked more.  
I now have it pre-ordered.  

Here's the cover


The summary:
An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively readable stories.

An eleven-year-old boy’s violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.

  1. We seem to have the same taste in Stephen King books. I will be looking for this one. It sounds great. Murder mysteries are my guilty pleasure.

  2. I've only read The Shining, Misery, and am half way through Carrie. All good. Looking forward to this one.

  3. I actually haven't read anything by Stephen King but have watched a couple of the movies?? Does that make me a bad reader? I think he is pretty much one of the few exceptions to my book before movie rule, LOL!
