Mr. Mercedes is a typical King book - by that I mean an easy to get into book with a compelling storyline and enough odd characters to make it all work well.
The basic storyline starts with a queue for a job fair getting run over by a Mercedes in the early dawn hours, killing several - the perpetrator gets away, case unsolved.
The other characters are the crusty, now retired detective from that case, a young acquaintence who is pretty smart, and a middle-aged woman struggling with significant psychological issues who comes to the fore.
Perfect for the summer days I lolled around reading it.
