Another April Fools?

We can hope...

Pretty interesting. I'm not normally a fan of series. I prefer one off books most of the time.

To elaborate (sort of): What I posted was NOT a spoiler…but if I explained why, that WOULD be. Trust me.

This is great news. I was hoping for something like this since I first read the ARC.

MR. MERCEDES is the first novel in a projected trilogy. Hodges, Jerome, and Holly will return in FINDERS KEEPERS next year.

Another April Fools?

Two VERY different books! :-)

I am very much enjoying Doctor Sleep - the True Knot, IMO, is pretty darn cool that way things have transpired up until now. I was going to take a King break after it, having read, Needful Things, The Shining, then Doctor Sleep....however....can't see me not going for 4 in a row.

Grabbed mine at lunch - Just have to finish reading Doctor Sleep, then most likely right into Mr. Mercedes.

I'll be heading to Barnes & Noble this afternoon to pick up two copies--one to read, the other for the collection. I also got the notice that my UK edition should arrive 6/17.

I have my pre-order waiting at my local Chapters - will be grabbing it either on lunch break today, or right after work.

At 9% into the book (according to the Kindle), the only thing that's bugging me is how they keep referring to a Mercedes SL500 as a twelve-cylinder. That's something that should never have made it past the editors. The SL600 had the V12.

Fantastic, thanks guys! Sounds like I'll be giving this one a shot!

[jhanic]

Is there any AA or overtly Christian themes in this one?

No, almost none.
