![]() ![]() Actually, that’s a good thing – it shows what a talented writer he is! But Mr Mercedes almost felt more like a light read along the lines of authors such as Dean Koontz. King is and always will be my favorite author so I don’t mean this in a bad way but I have to be in the right mood to start his novels as they’re such a huge commitment & tend to leave you emotionally exhausted by the end of them. This was just, in a way, a far less intense novel than most of his other weighty tomes. However, this was a quick and thoroughly entertaining read with some of the most likable characters he’s ever written so I definitely plan to read the remaining two very soon. I do always prefer when King’s books stick more to the strange & supernatural stuff as “crime” fiction really isn’t my thing. Mr Mercedes was a very enjoyable read but I have to say that, for some reason, it didn’t exactly feel like a Stephen King book to me. ![]() The case goes unsolved and ex-cop Bill Hodges is out of hope when he gets a letter from a man who loved the feel of death under the Mercedes’s wheels… ![]() ![]() Then the lone driver backs up, charges again, and speeds off, leaving eight dead and more wounded.
