The #1 national bestseller about a woman who escapes an abusive marriage is “one of Stephen King’s most engrossing horror novels. Relentlessly paced and brilliantly orchestrated…fueled by an air of danger immediate and overwhelming” (Publishers Weekly).

After surviving fourteen years of hell in a violently abusive marriage, Rosie Daniels has finally summoned the courage to flee for her life. But leaving her husband Norman for a new city and a new start is a very daunting prospect. It’s hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason—Norman’s a police officer with the instincts of a predator, a force of relentless terror and savagery…a man almost mythic in his monstrosity.

He’s very good at finding people, even if he is losing his mind. Rosie’s only hope for salvation may lie in a far more dangerous place, where she must become her own myth and the woman she never knew she could be.

Same old Stephen King style and structure, without the shine and polish of his great books.

I would recommend Dolores Claiborne instead, if you haven't read it yet. Same type of theme but a great read.

Not bad, but not great either honestly.

The reader was great, the ambiance music a little bit distracting at times.

Same old

Loved it! Definitely a new favorite from King. Tense, gripping and sometimes far too relatable, Rose Madder is an absolute page turner from start to finish.

My only complaints are that it drags a little bit during the middle and the end, and that the villain could have been a bit more developed, as the chapters told from his POV began to get repetitive and mildly tiresome after a while.

Overall, highly recommended!

Excellent!

Dark thriller but a bit dull at times. I was able to put it down for two weeks over Christmas without missing it... The story is good (dark) narration is great but there's music at times and it is awful! I think it really took away from my overall like for this story.

Thriller minus the suspense

First things first: the music was awful, horrendous. It added nothing to this audiobook and detracted from the story. Also, it seems I'm at least part canine because some of the higher-pitched screeches passing for music set my teeth on edge and made me want to scream. I docked the whole thing 1 star just for the terrible music. The narration, by Blair Brown, was fantastic! Five stars for her narration. Her voice needed no extraneous music.

Okay, that's out of the way, I'll move on. 😏

A year ago I read "Sleeping With The Enemy" and it was the worst. "Rose Madder" is the version of SWTE that I needed. Somehow I missed reading it back in 1995 and never tried until now. It's a story about a battered woman who leaves her husband and moves 800 miles away. He's a cop who specializes in finding missing people, so he tracks her down. He's completely nuts, psychotic and extremely violent. The story takes a turn at the halfway mark. It turns into traditional King kind of tale, where good meets evil, they hash it out and along the way a fantasy/ supernatural element appears.

I wondered at all the reviews I saw complaining about the fantasy elements. I guess this must be their first Stephen King? 🤔

I enjoyed the story, its plot and its themes. Almost no one builds characters like King. I've definitely read better characters of his, but I liked Rosie, Bill, Anna and the rest.

Recommended for fans of King-with-20-years-under-his-belt (which is much different than early King and yet still different than King-with-almost-50-yrs-under-his-belt).

It's good

Yes. Two storylines in one.
