Description

Mr. Mercedes is a thrilling mystery novel from the master of the macabre, Stephen King.

Summary of the Book

In a Midwestern city, a man climbs into a Mercedes-Benz fuelled by a dark agenda. He drives to a job fair, where thousands of unemployed hopefuls vie for a chance at a career. They have no idea that a killer is coming towards them. The driver strikes before dawn, and leaves eight dead and fifteen injured in his wake. Just as mysteriously as he appeared, the killer vanishes into the fog, never to be seen again. Or so the retired detective Bill Hodges thinks. Streetwise and battle-hardened, he had worked on the case when it was still fresh, and gave up on it thinking that it led nowhere. However, an unnerving letter arrives at his door and claims to be from the killer. Bill can’t resist the pull of the Mercedes killer, for more lives are at stake. The killer will strike again, and only Bill and his allies stand in his way.

Poe's New Darling

Mr Mercedes showed the world that Stepehen King can write in any genre, and get the most prestigious award too, the Edgar (named on the mystery writer Edgar Allen Poe).
But let's not get deviated by superficial things. It is the story in which you are interested in.
Mr Mercedes is a unique detective novel for the mystery is not in the perpetrator of the crime, but in how the fish and the fisherman share a dark relationship, how each person's choices affects the other, and how they finally bri...

Good book

I liked Mr Mercedes on several counts: a) the story is about a deranged guy who hunts for vulnerable people and how the retired local Policeman finally manages to nab him, in the face of a personal loss of his female love interest b) great writing, and c) full of wit. 'Black House' was my first reading of a Stephen King novel. I had enjoyed it thoroughly. I had also bought and read 'Just After Sunset', 'Duma Key', and of course 'The Shining', and now 'Mr Mercedes'.

Loved reading Mr Mercedes,...

Mr. Mercedes Review

Since I am a huge stephen king fan, I saw no reason to not go ahead and pre order this book. As always the premise was set, an old cat and mouse chase game with (what I thought at least) stephen king touch. I will say that the story delivered well on its premise but it's not the strength of stephen king. He is a horror writer, so for once (or twice) he thought of going into different genre which is crime.

The book is not the typical stephen king book which is its both good and bad point. G...

quality of book very poor

while the book in itself is great, the cover had ragged edges like it had been cut at home. i get that the book was cheaper here than other sites but i didnot expect i would have to compromise on quality. i had use a scissors to cut out the raggediness!!

i have bought books from flipkart before and have always been satisfied. this one shook my faith!

Thrilling

Although not in the same league as '11.22.63', Stephen King's story-telling abilities are put to good use in this book. The narration that describes both the detective and the criminal offers interesting perspectives, but at the same time takes away all suspense. Yet, it is still a thrilling book and another non-horror feather in Stephen King's hat.

Good new book from Stephen King

Book is very well written and is a steal at the price I paid for the hard cover> It was a good book. However, it is not upto the standard of Stephen King like Pet Semetary, Green Mile etc.. I feel he is losing his touch

Mr. King at his best

Stephen King has once again proved that he is the master of any genre that he chooses. For those of you who think that his forte is horror, this book will prove you wrong. Edge of the seat, break neck pace and a villain who is as psychologically scarred as they come, this book has it all !!

Great book

Its a great hard-boiled detective novel. Actually I'm a slow reader. Apart from a few places where the story loses its speed, this is a definite page-turner hands down, especially for Stephen King fans. Go for it.
