Summary

It's new book week! We're setting our sights on Stephen King's Crime obsession by taking a look at the 2014 novel Mr. Mercedes. This week we read and discuss the first two chapters: Grey Mercedes and Det.-Ret.

Discussion Question: Which type of mystery story do you prefer? The one where you discover the killer's identity when the detective does? or the cat and mouse type where we learn their identity early on and watch as our detective gets closer and closer to finding them? Why?

Next week, Mr. Mercedes continues with the third chapter: Under Debbie's Blue Umbrella
