A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring a retired homicide detective who's haunted by the few cases he left open, and by one in particular - the pre-dawn slaughter of eight people among hundreds gathered in line for the opening of a jobs fair when the economy was guttering out. Without warning, a lone driver ploughed through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes. The plot is kicked into gear when Bill Hodges receives a letter in the mail, from a man claiming to be the perpetrator. He taunts Hodges with the notion that he will strike again. Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing that from happening. Brady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. And he's preparing to kill again. Only Hodges, with a couple of misfit friends, can apprehend the killer in this high-stakes race against time. Because Brady's next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim hundreds, even thousands..
Olvasói vélemények összefoglalója
Readers largely regard Mr Mercedes as a dark, tense, and highly readable crime thriller, with many praising its psychological depth and emotional intensity. The cat-and-mouse dynamic keeps the suspense high, while the grounded menace gives the story an unsettling atmosphere without relying on supernatural elements.
The characters’ fears, motives, and emotional wounds are often seen as convincingly developed, and readers also appreciate King’s sharp humor, grotesque touches, and engaging prose. Some found the opening slow or initially difficult to get into, and a few felt that aspects of the execution, including the resolution, were rushed or reliant on familiar clichés. Overall, Mr Mercedes is especially likely to appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven investigations, escalating tension, and darker contemporary thrillers.

Mr. Mercedes
Stephen King
Ismét egy feszültséggel, fordulatokkal teli King regény, amely a történet előrehaladásával egyre jobban beszippantja az embert. Találkozunk még Hodges nyomozó 😁

Nu ai cum să nu-l iubeşti pe Stephen King. Mi-a plăcut mult primul volum din seria Bill Hodges. Sper ca următoarele 2 volume să fie la fel de bune ! 🥰

Mr. Mercedes
Stephen King
Mostanában úgy véli, hogy nem a bűntudat az egyetlen okaaz öngyilkosságnak.
Néha egyszerűen csak megunja az ember a délutáni tévéműsort.
