September Book: Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

Our meetup will be taking place Friday, September 29. Time and location to be announced.

This month’s book will be: Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. You may choose to listen or read the book.

Here is a review of the book by Esquire:
“King is known as the king of horror, but he’s also a great mystery writer. Mr. Mercedes, which won the Edgar Award for Best Novel, is a dark mystery thriller that follows retired cop Bill Hodges after he receives a taunting letter from a killer who drove a stolen Mercedes through a job fair. Killing eight people and injuring fifteen, he was never caught. Mr. Mercedes is tense, offers a truly dark and creepy look at the mind of the killer, and is full of smaller mysteries. This novel started the Bill Hodges Trilogy and birthed not only Hodges, a great sleuth, but also Holly Gibney, one of King’s most enduring female characters. King may be the undisputed king of horror, but this novel shows that he’s also a great mystery writer who understands what makes the genre tick.”
