Default Stephen King's 'Lisey's Story'

In hardback £8.99 from Waterstone's.

I started reading it last night and find it gripping from the get-go.

Synopsis
Lisey Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five-year marriage of profound, sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was a celebrated, award-winning, novelist. And a complex man. Lisey knew there was a dark place where her husband ventured to face his demons. Boo'ya Moon is what Scott called it; a realm that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed to write and live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face her husband's demons. And what begins as a widow's effort to sort through her husband's effects becomes a perilous journey into the heart of darkness.

Similar to Bag Of Bones in theme I find but much, much different. Yet again another strong female lead character, much like the protagonist in Rose Madder
