trevert 's review for:

Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

4.0

---

This was fantastic. Excellent characters that I enjoyed spending time with, a cool plot, and believable unfolding of events with both fallible protagonists and antagonists. I enjoyed that the serial killer was not portrayed as an invincible Lector-like supervillain, and that the heroes had plenty of problems themselves. It's a straight crime thriller, not a horror novel, FWIW, and I hope Mr. King writes more of them.
