Mr Mercedes
Genre: crime fiction

One of the most recent Stephen King novels included a huge change with regards to genre. If you are a fan of John Verdon or James Patterson, you cannot leave this novel out of your to-read list. Featuring a detective (Bill Hodges) as the main character, we get a totally different kind of novel, but which is just as good as any of his more "signature" novels. The novel begins with a Mercedes car plunging into a multitude, and killing eight people. This event is what grants the killer the name "Mr Mercedes" (as well as the book). Bill decides to investigate the matter further, in order to find the murderer, even though he is retired. Will you find out who the killer is?
