Synopsis: In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; ...
I put off reading this book because I wasn't sure whether my expectations of a Stephen King novel would fit with a pure thriller -ie no horror, supernatural, time travel or post-apocalyptic event. However, I wish I had read it earlier, I loved it. It is Stephen King's style that I love and this, f...

I have heard so much about this book that when I saw it in my library I knew I had to check it out. It has been a few years since I last read a book from Stephen King. It took me a while to get into this book and I am not quite sure why. I love this authors writing and his ability to bring you story...
Mr. Mercedes has a great plot. It isn't the horror I expected from this author. It's more of a thriller, suspense, mystery, detective type read. 4—4.5 stars
Book 1, in the Bill Hodges TrilogyA hard-boiled detective book is definitely not what I had expected Mr. King would have come up with next. This new genre received positive reviews and won him the Edgar Award in 2015 for Best Novel. This story is so different from is standard “horror stories” it is ...
Nobody told me this isn't a Stephen King novel! Okay, so Mr. King wrote a thriller. He still does it better than most. However, he should stay far far away from fedora-wearing detectives and sex scenes and stick with what he does best. What would Annie Wilkes say?
"Mr. Mercedes" ist wieder eines dieser King-Bücher, die man auch lange nach dem Lesen einfach nicht vergessen kann (wobei mir das mit den Büchern vom King irgendwie immer so geht). Dieses Buch ist ein spannender und gut durchdachter Krimi, der mich von den ersten Seiten an direkt in seinen Bann gezo...
I have to say that I am surprised that I just did not like this book as much as I initially did when I started to read it. I think the reasons are that we have seen King play with these type of characters before and some of the plot points were so obvious they may as well been wearing a sign saying ...
8 Tote, mehrere Schwerverletzte und eine traumatisierte Stadtbevölkerung. Das ist die Statistik von Mr. Mercedes, dem Wahnsinnigen, der eine deutsche Limousine in eine Menschenmenge gelenkt hat und der dem Splittern, Krachen und Quetschen der Knochen und Eingeweide laut eigenen Angaben eine ordentli...
