Mr.Mercades by Stephen King

 




If you are into true crime, you will really love this book! We get the nitty gritty inside of a killers mind. While also getting to see a retired detective be a hero. Watching the story unfold by such a powerful craftsman was really an amazing experience.


My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars 


Part of a series or Standalone: #1 Bill Hodges trilogy 


Genre: Thriller


Tropes: Retired Detective, Ragtag team, Cat and Mouse


Things I liked: We got both sides, the twisted villainous side and the side of a man hot on the case. It was really amazing to see both sides as the story advanced. 

In the Stephen King bookclub I'm in, we are reading these for Holly, we want to get to her in the new book, so we started here. Im interested in seeing how Holly is throughout this journey. 

I also found it great that King references his own works in this one. 


Things I disliked: As in a lot of male powered fantasies, a lot of the women only served to further the plot with their deaths, which was upsetting. 


Audiobook or Physical? The audiobook was really good! Will Patton does an amazing job. 


Extras: Bill and Brady's POV's
