In King's (Insomnia, Audio Reviews, LJ 1/95) latest work, the physical and psychological relationship of an abused wife, Rose, and her psychopathic husband, Norman, is laid bare. When Rose walks out on their 14-year-old marriage and makes a new life, Norman, a police detective, uses his investigative skills to track her down. While developing her self-assurance, Rose visits a pawn shop whose owner is as mesmerized with her as she is with an eerie, mythological painting. She swaps her engagement ring for the art, hangs the painting in her new apartment, and strange, surreal things start to happen. Meanwhile, Norman simply can't let Rose walk out on him, and his relentless pursuit fuels the tension and suspense. The recording is narrated by the author (as Norman) and actress Blair Brown (as Rose). Purchase wherever King is popular.‘Kristin M. Jacobi, Mitchell Coll. Lib., New London, Ct.
