Publisher's Summary
Duma Key combines the appeal of Cell and Lisey's Story - two of Stephen King's most successful novels of all time - to take the legendary author to a whole new level. Read by John Slattery.
Duma Key is the engaging, fascinating story of a man who discovers an incredible talent for painting after a freak accident in which he loses an arm.
He moves to a "new life" in Duma Key, off Florida's West Coast - a deserted strip, part beach, part weed-tangled reef, owned by a patroness of the arts whose twin sisters went missing in the 1920s. Duma Key is where out-of-season hurricanes tear lives apart and a powerful undertow lures lost and tormented souls.
Here, Freemantle is inspired to paint the amazing sunsets. But soon the paintings become predictive, even dangerous. Freemantle knows the only way forward is to discover what happened to the twin sisters and uncover the secret of the strange old lady who holds the key.
The story is about friendship, about the bond between a father and his daughter, and about memory, truth and art. It is also is a metaphor for the life and inspiration of a writer, and an exploration of the nature, power, and influence of fiction.
Please note: this is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.
Critic Reviews
"Written by the man who once memorably called himself 'the literary equivalent of a Big Mac with fries' - this is supreme, page-turning storytelling; the sort of popular fiction that comes along only rarely and only from a writer at the top of his game." (Daily Mail)

Stephen King at his best
What can I say, I couldn’t put this one down. I’ve read it, then listened to it on Audible, both were perfect. The narration was excellent. Thankyou

Brilliant narration
A brilliant book made even more engaging by top quality narration. The characters in this book are amazing and so deeply developed that they seem absolutely real. As usual, Stephen King offers a blend of reality and supernatural which is seamless and terrifying. Such a fabulous, fun read.

Absolutely worth the read/listen
I was enthralled by this audiobook- couldn't stop listening. I really enjoyed the storyline and characters, sufficiently spooky/weird

Love
There was some weird loud static in several places, but overall the quality was good. The story is one of my Stephen King favourites.
