Hello,

I'm a newbie here. There's something I can't remember about Mr Mercedes and I thought that rather than read the book again someone on here might have the answer. This is going to sound weird/obscure but I'll give it a shot.

At one point in the story Hodges is faced with a problem or dilemma and I recall thinking when I read this part of the story that the solution he came up with was very smart. I can't for the life of me remember what the problem or solution was though. I know that it was in the first half of the book and I think it involved Janey.

I realise that this isn't a lot to go on but if anyone can recall I'd appreciate if you would respond.

Thanks.

Eoghan does this help you remember:
Janey, who hires him to investigate Olivia's suicide and the stealing of the Mercedes. They become a couple. Hodges finds out, with the help of bright, computer savvy Jerome, how Mr. Mercedes stole the car and then drove Olivia (whom he made contact with through his job at the electronics shop) to suicide by leaving creepy sound files on her computer that were set to go off at unpredictable intervals, which worked on her feelings of guilt. Olivia, when hearing these sounds, believed them to be the ghosts of the victims of the Mercedes Massacre.

He also explain about the car keys

uhhh. . . is this the part where Janey and Hodges are talking about the profiling at Mr. Mercedes?
