Rose Daniels saw the single drop of blood on the bed sheet--and knew she must escape from her macabre marriage before it was too late.

But escape was not as easy as fleeing to a new city, picking a new name, finding a new job, lucking out with a new man. Her husband, Norman, was a cop, with a cop's training, a cop's technology, a cop's bloodhound instincts. And even worse, Norman was--well, Norman. Rose knew she had been married to a savage brute. Now she realized she was being tracked down by a terrifying monster--but the only place she found to hide could be the most dangerous one. --back cover

Review of 'Rose Madder' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I have read a lot of Stephen King in my life...and I think that this novel is one of his best...because while it is less specific than others in terms of locations of where things take place, that's part of it's suspense. Not sure about other readers, but I'm pretty sure the world in the painting is one of the worlds on the wheel; sort of reminds me of one of the twisting areas of Roland's world. I feel like Rose Madder and Roland might have interacted off page at some point.
