Book: Dolores Caliborne
Author: Stephen King
Pagges: 336
This is my 147th read for the year
This is the story of Dolores. When the old rich woman she cares for falls and dies, Dolores is brought in for questioning. She has been at the police station before - 30 years ago when he husband dies. She is innocent of the woman's fall, but decides it is time to come clean of her husband's death years ago. She starts her tale at the beginning and recounts her life with her abusive husband, Joe, her children, and her years as a caretaker.
This was a great book. I listened to this one and the narrator is Frances Sternhagen which was perfect. She made the audio version for sure. The story is well told, and I found myself wanting to continue to listen to find out where the story was going. The whole story is a long monologue and it is just very well written. King can be hit or miss but I found this one a hit. No rambling. A good story from beginning to end and I am glad I read this one.
