Ring, by Koji Suzuki

Title: Ring
Author: Koji Suzuki
Borrowed from Queen Anne County Public Library Hardback
Started: 6/7/2022
Finished: 6/8/2022

First book in the ring series of horror movie fame.  Liked it, having seen the movie long ago in the theaters.  I'm a big chicken when it comes to movies, so I will admit the movie really frightened me.  The book was more of a ticking time bomb mystery than horror,  which I preferred.  

None of the libraries near me ha e the rest of the series so I may end up purchasing those.
