Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King

A sixty-five year old woman from Long Tall Island walks into the police station and states that she killed her husband thirty years ago. She then goes on to tell her tale in her own way.

This was an interesting book in the way it was written and how it all came together. Not exactly horror, but thrilling nonetheless. The characters were incredibly well fleshed out and I feel like I know them.

I think that's Stephen King's real strength, in most of his books the characters really come alive, which makes his otherwise implausible plots feel more real.
