I loved Mr Mercedes, don't get me wrong; but this is even better; which is almost unheard of with 2nd books in a series.
We initially are introduced to the killer and his cronies, and it all ramps up plateaus and ramps up some more. This is not high-octane, but definitely more suspenseful.
In some ways our author/book-obsessed killer, Morris Bellamy (Non-spoiler, we know the killer from the book blurb) reminds me of Annie from Misery. The obsessive lengths he goes to for the unpublished manuscripts come to a head at the end of the book. Awesome! (think Gollum and the Ring...LOL)
Anyway; Hodges deals with his own obsessions with Hardy and the destructive role he played in Hardy's life and countless others. Is Hardy mentally sick from this obsession?? Physically sick or a combination of both??
Desire, obsessions, want and need; all play a huge role in this novel. Everyone seems to have overwhelming desire for something. From Peter's want for a better life for his family; his sister wanting what others have, Morris' obsession with the unpublished novels; and Hodges desire for Hardy to make a move... any move.
I loved every inch of this book, and feel the pull of the Dark Tower maybe?? When you read the end; let me know. Is it DT or something else?? I can feel it!
