His character is developed so well that I truly hated him. I lucked out, we all got lucky in this combo coming together because this is a GREAT audiobook.

I took a chance on Mr Mercedes because I think Patton can do no wrong, I have an admitted voice-crush on him. I love creepy and twisted, I just don't think that King is very consistent. Before that, I felt burned by a couple of his books because they just weren't very good. The last I listened of his was 11/22/63 because the reviews were so good and I loved it. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable. And they have no time to lose, because Brady's next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the 'perk' and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.īrady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. Eight people are killed fifteen are wounded. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands. 2015 Audie Award Finalist for Fiction and Solo Narration-Male
