Mr. Mercedes

Mr Mercedes was the first book I've read from Stephen King that had no supernatural/horror elements and that wasn't a huge tome. Even though it could be said to be a straight forward crime thriller, due to its relentless pace and great characters I loved it. Like all of his books it is written in a very cinematic way so you can really picture the characters and settings. The other thing I like about it is that it's a set trilogy so I'm looking forward to continuing and finishing the story.
