Not the best King I’ve read — but very good.
Never Flinch (2025) is a crime novel by Stephen King.
A stand alone book, but one that includes fan favourite recurring character Holly Gibney.
Two stories run in parallel, then converge for the finale.
- Holly Gibney signs on as body guard for a controversial celebrity feminist activist on tour.
- Detective Izzy Jaynes searches for an insane multiple personality who plans to “kill thirteen innocents and one guilty”
For me, the Izzy Jaynes storyline was more interesting. That bad guy truly bizarre.
Gospel singer Sista Bessie is one of those terrific King characters with whom you can truly relate.
He’s one of our best storytellers.
