Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

The first book to feature Bill Hodges, Brady Hartsfield and Holly Gibney, Mr Mercedes saw a brave and amazing career move for Stephen King. Here was a man known for his horror above all else, writing the best crime thriller of the year and one of his best-ever books - all without the supernatural.

Mr Mercedes is a superbly written crime drama, character study and analysis of the evil of man. At once unrelenting and action-packed, it is also bone-chillingly creepy, frequently tragic and endlessly mysterious, with all the hallmarks of a King classic and a undeniable future benchmark of the crime genre.
