Summary

It's a sad day here at Kingslingers as we cover chapter 5 of Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes: Call for the Dead. As Bill and his new team get closer and closer to finding The Mercedes Killer, Brady strikes out against the Det.-Ret. and misses. Only for someone to end up in his crosshairs.

Discussion Question: In your opinion what is the most effective late recontextualization of a character's past that changes your feelings about them?

Next week, Mr. Mercedes concludes!
