If Stephen King did a thriller...
I have been reading King since the 90s when as a teen a friend gave me The Dark Half to read. I have been an avid fan ever since. This does not disappoint. it's the first in a series of 3 books about a retired detective. The Outsider could be considered a 4th as it features one of the key characters in Mr Mercedes but it can be read out of sequence which is what I did having bought The Outsider first. If you like King, you will enjoy these books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Mr Mercedes
I always tend to ignore the endorsements made by critics which adorn the front and back cover of the book I am deciding to buy. It is all subjective and the critic probably hasnt read the book anyway but hired a junior researcher to cover the salient points. I love Steven Kings books but did not love this one ,It was adequate and told a good story but wasnt gritty enough to fulfil its promise. The detective was quite passive and actually didnt do a great deal in the quest of catching the perpertrator. By coincidence I read another book a few weeks later which ironically was endorsed by Steven King, the villain of Mr Merecedes had a frightenly similar profile as one of the many the villains in this particular book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Decent
Arrived well and sooner than expected, the spine is a bit cracked and the book is very fragile as it's a paperback, but for the price it's goodVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Compelling and emotionally rewarding.
The plot unfolds with heart-stopping tension, every twist and turn raising it to new levels. The characters are believable and, especially in the case of the investigator, engage our sympathy. I was really rooting for him! The ending is totally satisfying.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great diversion in these worrying times .
Stephen King is an amazing writer . He introduces many disparate characters , then gradually merges their stories . A very compelling read .Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Another winner from the pen of King
As usual, King draws the reader in to the characters and the plot; bringing them to life with his talented writing. This is essentially a detective story but with so much else!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
