I genuinely really liked Mr. Mercedes, but this book was a huge let down. King tries to repeat the structure of Mr. Mercedes, with the criminal and protagonists perspectives alternating, but it fails the bring the tension it did in the first book. Pete Saubers and his family are not very interesting characters, and the characters that we are already invested in are barely in the book. Morris is a much blander version of Brady and is too pathetic to provoke much terror. I’m hesitantly hopeful for End of Watch, assuming it follows the plot hook of Brady’s
