A thrilling book about a suicidal detective pursuing a psychopathic mass murder, Stephen King tries to make his first realistic suspense crime drama story. A retired cop, Bill Hodges, has nothing to live for but finally, finds a purpose when he receives a letter from the supposed killer taunting him. Bradley Hartsfesid, the terrorist, works two dead end jobs and lives with his alcoholic mother, with a murky past we see his frustrations in this dual narrative novel. This is a race against time book, but personally, I didn't think the book was well put together, it was quite typical and cliche. - @Florence of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library Mr Mercedes by Stephen King was a great novel. I read it during the summer and I thought it was very interesting. I have read novels by Stephen King including 11/22/63 and IT, and this book sure didn't let me down. This book is about a murderer that taunts an ex-detective. The murderer sends a variety of emails and letters to the detective, and information and other important details begin to unravel from there! I would rate this book a solid 5/5, mainly because I love mysteries, especially horror-related ones! Stephen King is an extraordinary writer. I think readers would love this book because it is very complex, and has a really scary vibe! @Montgomery of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
