JIGGLYSPOT AND THE ZERO INTELLECT

Oct 31, 2023 | kirkusreviews.com | Stephen King |Nelson DeMille |Alex DeMille

Holly Gibney made her first appearance in print with a small role in Mr. Mercedes (2014). She played a larger role in The Outsider (2018). And she was the central character in If It Bleeds, a novella in the 2020 collection of the same name. King has said that the character “stole his heart.” Readers adore her, too.

Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have been back from Venezuela for five months since they cleared up a case chronicled in THE DESERTER. While successful, their mission didn’t end well, and they didn’t think they would ever work together again. Apparently, Brodie had ventured beyond their mandate and into territory that uncovered secrets the government didn’t want known. There was no question that they did a remarkable job.

I bought “Word of Honor,” a paperback novel, at a Wood Library used book sale for 50 cents after reading the brief summary on the book’s back cover: “He is a good man, a brilliant corporate executive, an honest, handsome man admired by men and desired by women.
