King works his customary storytelling magic, unspooling the plot threads almost as quickly as readers can turn the pages - Daily Mail on End of Watch Bill and Holly's decidedly down-to-earth detecting...makes the novel shine. I'd back these two anywhere - Guardian on End of Watch ...the book I'd pick off the pile at the airport this summer - Evening Standard on End of Watch Increasingly drenched with chilling spookiness. Exciting, elegant and poignant, it's a fitting finale to a brilliant trilogy - Sunday Mirror on End of Watch
