Watch the complete MR. MERCEDES series on Peacock WINNER of the EDGAR AWARD for BEST NOVEL and #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In a high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from murdering thousands. “Mr. Mercedes is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses” (The Washington Post).The stolen Mercedes emerges from the pre-dawn fog and plows through a crowd of men and women on line for a job fair in a distressed American city. Then the lone driver backs up, charges again, and speeds off, leaving eight dead and more wounded. The case goes unsolved and ex-cop Bill Hodges is out of hope when he gets a letter from a man who loved the feel of death under the Mercedes’s wheels… Brady Hartsfield wants that rush again, but this time he’s going big, with an attack that would take down thousands—unless Hodges and two new unusual allies he picks up along the way can throw a wrench in Hartsfield’s diabolical plans. Stephen King takes off on a “nerve-shredding, pulse-pounding race against time” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) with this acclaimed #1 bestselling thriller.

"When I came across Holly Gibney in the show The Outsider, I became fascinated with her character. I needed to consume her story in the written media. For me, this isn’t usual S King work because it’s more detective and less supernatural/extra world building. But his character development is as superb as usual. If you’re into detective stories this might be a 4* for you. But, I’m getting through it to know the character. The real world and sad stories doesn’t provide the escape I look for so if it weren’t for looking for Holly this wouldn’t be for me. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed the constant cat and mouse like relationship of the detective and murderer. But I do feel like this series dragged on a tad. The "Mr.Mercedes" series consist of 3 books, when I feel like it could of been 2 books. The 2nd book in the series could of been condensed in my opinion, or not even there. It wasn't a bad book, but it did make me lose interest in the series. I had to force myself to keep reading so I could get to the 3rd book. But overall it's not a terrible series, but there is better. "
"Very good ! Different than the other Stephen king’s book ! I like the thriller so much. It’s kinda sad at the end but very good. I would recommend! "
