Described as 'the best thriller of the year' Sunday Express, the No. 1 bestseller introduces retired cop Bill Hodges in a race against time to apprehend a killer.

A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring Bill Hodges, a retired cop who is tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved.

Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of that notorious crime, has sent Hodges a taunting letter. Now he's preparing to kill again.

Each starts to close in on the other in a mega-stakes race against time.

Mr Mercedes
King at his best. There have been a couple of Stephen King novels that have not grabbed me 'Dream Catcher' and 'The Gunslinger' to name but two, but the characterisation, compelling story coupled with the outstanding narration from Will Patton make this a blinding book. I found it really hard to put down.
Full 5 star rating from me

Would you listen to Mr Mercedes again? Why?

An exciting read. A great story and I just didn't want it to end. King can really get the reader to get inside a character's head. I loved and was rooting for the main character, Bill Hodges, and I was utterly mesmerised by the bad guy. Both very believable.
This is a fantastic book. I have come late to Stephen King - but more like this please, SK!

Will Patton is now one of my favourite narrators on the back of this - along with Jeff Harding.

So, so brilliant

The story is mediocre for King but the narration by Will Patton on the other hand, is brilliant; it made the story shine and the character were made real to me.

Entertaining but not Stephen King at his best.
