Publisher's Summary
Roused by a single drop of blood, Rosie Daniels wakes up to the chilling realisation that her husband is going to kill her. And she takes flight - with his credit card.
Alone in a strange city, Rosie begins to build a new life: she meets Bill Steiner and she finds an odd junk shop painting, Rose Madder, which strangely seems to want her as much as she wants it.
But it's hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder. Rose-maddened and on the rampage, Norman is a corrupt cop with a dog's instinct for tracking people. And he's getting close. Rosie can feel how close he is getting....
A brilliant, dark-hued fable of gender wars, a haunting love story, and a hold-your-breath triumph of suspense, Rose Madder is Stephen King at his electrifying best.

Great reading, terrible music
Great reading by Blair Brown, passable reading by Stephen King, his genius is in the writing, not in the performance. But the music is just awful, jarring and out of place, drowns out the voices in some places. Definitely worth persevering through, but please, someone, give us a version without the music!

God awful music, pretty good story
At some points, the purposely grating music is louder than the narration. It's really awful.
story is great, could have ended a chapter earlier and lost nothing.

Why did they put that horrific music?? Over the top of the narrator’s reading?? I was constantly grabbing my phone to turn the volume down.

The music really isn't that bad ....
I held off buying this audio-book for quite some time due to all the comments about the music. I wish I had of ignored those comments and gotten this book a lot sooner though. Sure, the music is mildly annoying at times, and the book probably would have been better without it. But I mean, we're talking about 15 seconds of music at the end of every other chapter. It really isn't a big deal. I can't understand all the people with a serious case of first-world-problems getting so riled up about it. I wouldn't have even mentioned it at all, except I felt the need to let others know that those comments should not stop you from getting this book. Like all Stephen King books, it does not disappoint.

Not bad
I found this easier to follow than Insomnia, written in the same year. The performances were good and the story enjoyable.

Good book but the music is horrendous
I enjoyed this book and loved the fact that the author himself reads parts of it, however they play some really loud screeching music at the end of the chapters that drowns the voice of the reader and hurts the ears, especially if listening with earbuds. The music is not only unnecessary but detrimental to the enjoyment of the book.
