About this eBook

A powerful tale of grief, love's enduring bonds and the secrets of the past, now with a stunning new cover.

When Mike Noonan's wife dies unexpectedly, the bestselling author suffers from writer's block. Until he is drawn to his summer home, the beautiful lakeside retreat called Sara Laughs.

Here Mike finds the once familiar town in the tyrannical grip of millionaire Max Devore. Devore is hell-bent on getting custody of his deceased son's daughter and is twisting the fabric of the community to this purpose.

Three-year-old Kyra and her young mother turn to Mike for help. And Mike finds them increasingly irresistible.

But there are other more sinister forces at Sara Laughs - and Kyra can feel them too . . .

'Accomplished . . . unputdownable . . . his mesmerising best' Observer

The 1st time i read this book was when i rented it from the library... zzzzz its that boring that i didnt even get half way through before returning it this is not one of King's best in fact its the worst one EVER. Shame on you Stephen you have wrote many good books n my fave is firestarter but Bag of Bones bored me big time so im not going to bother to have THIS one on my phone.

i think some of your reviewers need to unferstand stephen kings stlye of writing, and the brilliant way his writing has evolved. if you like king, and have average intelegence. youll enjoy this. its all about kings unique style, and some just dont get it.

I found this one to be a complete bore. I ended up flicking past quite a few pages because he went overboard in his descriptions and he just seemed to wander of track almost constantly. I think i got up to page 60 or so i and i still had no clear idea on where the story was headed.
