Thoughts on The Outsider, by Stephen King

The Outsider by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Flint City, Oklahoma, Detective Ralph Anderson is sure he has the man who has committed "an unspeakable crime that [rocked] local enforcement to its core ..." The prime suspect is Terry Maitland, a good guy, "Little League coach, English teacher, and devoted husband father." Eyewitnesses, "irrefutable evidence .... [the case is] ... ironclad" (back cover).
Or is it? As the investigation continues, things are revealed that are even worse and things that can't be explained--things that are impossible. After all, "There is no end to the universe" (multiple times, including 556).
A murder mystery, a horrific crime, questions about what is real and what is not, including an ancient nightmarish legend, and very human characters.
King fans, I think, will like this. A page turner that seems shorter than its 560 pages. A good read indeed.
