I'm on page 85 and I'm satisfied that the novel is great so far. I'm dissatisfied bc it's a little over 400 pages, I'm almost 25% through and no bill hodges yet. I was so looking forward to him. My favorite character . I thought they were going to have the same people. I even heard how readers liked the way will Patton does the girl in the audiobook version. The Mercedes makes a cameo but that's it.
