A name that caused some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they waited for opening day. Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk was the first customer and he got just what he wanted, a very rare 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Signed. Cyndi Rose Martin was next. A Lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room decor. Something for everyone.

Summary
Shortlisted for the Audio Publisher’s Association Audie Award 2016 for Best Male Narrator.
1978: Meet Morris Bellamy, the man who robs the safe of America's most famous reclusive writer, John Rothstein. But it isn't just the money he is interested in. Morrie is obsessed with the author's notebooks and is prepared to kill the author for them.
2009: Meet young Pete Saubers, whose father was knocked down by an out-of-control Mercedes in a job line-up. When he discovers a buried trunk of money and notebooks of a famous writer, he has the means to rescue his family from poverty. If he can keep it secret.
2013: Morrie is up for parole. And he's hell-bent on recovering the notebooks.
That's when retired detective Bill Hodges - who has set up a company called Finders Keepers - discovers the scheme.
Finders Keepers is spectacular suspense. It is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, for ever.
Read by award-winning narrator Will Patton, who was nominated for an Audie Award in the Solo Narration - Male category for his work on both Mr. Mercedes and Doctor Sleep.
Critic reviews
"I challenge you not to read this book in one breathless sitting." (Guardian)
"Deserves to be ranked alongside King's masterpieces." (Daily Mail)
"Stephen King might just be America's greatest living novelist...the best thriller of the year.... Recommended to crime buffs and King fans alike." (Sunday Express)

Solid King Crime
A pretty good King novel with all the key ingredients of repulsive villain, flawed hero and good vanquishing evil. But a few plot holes and guessable twists. But I listened straight after Bag of Bones which was amazing, so maybe I'm just on a comedown!

Not one of King's best
I bought this story on audiobook so I could listen to it on my way to and from work. The quality of narration is excellent and on a par with other Stephen King audiobooks I’ve listened to.
The story is cleverly written to link into the previous novel in the series being a direct sequel. If you hadn’t read the previous book you wouldn’t be at a huge disadvantage reading this one as King fills in the gaps and brings you quickly up to speed.
The story starts in the past and flicks between past and present as it sets the scene for the story and introduces the characters. Gradually the plot picks up steam and the pace starts to increase, and it isn’t until more than half way through the book that the link to the previous book in the series becomes clear and the characters meet.
I enjoyed this book but there isn’t a lot to it compared to some of King’s other novels and once again the ending is a bit of an anti-climax. I’d still recommend this book to others but I hope that King’s next book has a little more of the supernatural in and a better ending 🙂

Not as good as the first.
Holly and Tina's voices were very irritating. too breathy and clipped.. almost robotic sounding. The audio levels werent adjusted right either so loud parts sounded fuzzy. The story wasn't as compelling as the previous installment either. Stephen King writing about how precious someone's unpublished novels are feels very vain. In Mr Mercedes, the stakes are much higher and its more tense. hoping the final book redeems the saga

A bit of a disappointment
As you can see from my other reviews, I'm usually a big fan of Stephen King's books and loved the first one in this trilogy but this 2nd one I thought was a bit of a disappointment. Brilliantly written as usual but it just sort of petered out with an anti-climactic and predictable ending - not one of his best!

Another school based story
The idea is great but as he often does, the author involves school and schoolteachers to the overall detriment of the story. Bill Hodges also seems to have been welded on to milk the success of the character rather than add anything much.

Mr Mercedes
Would you listen to Finders Keepers again? Why?
I'd want to listen to this and Mr Mercedes again prior to the follow up being released. It's been a refreshing change to read a King novel without the fantasy element.
What other book might you compare Finders Keepers to, and why?
Obviously it's difficult not to compare this book to Mr Mercedes. I loved the twists and turns that befall the protagonist which is different to the structured planning of the villain of Mr Mercedes. The books have developed that universe well and King lets us know we're not in his horror universe in compelling ways.
What about Will Patton’s performance did you like?
It's cliched but he really brings the characters to life. Hodges sounds like the gritty 40s PI and Holly is the nervous intellect.
Any additional comments?
I like King's fantastical story writing in his other books but I've enjoyed the fact that this trilogy so far doesn't have that and it's obviously in a different universe from most of the rest of his books. I just hope he sticks to this grounded universe when he rounds out the trilogy in End of Watch, unfortunately it doesn't seem like he will.

Ooh ooh ooh.
Usually when a book impresses me this much on audible I wonder if the narrator makes the story stronger. With King, I need not wonder. He picks the best because he is the best.
Now. You want to know what I thought right? Well. You know that annoying friend that goes.....oh oh oh and then, and I do not want to spoil the story but...well with this book that is me. I felt for our foul evil reader cause I get it. I hopefully will never go this far but........
Lol. Read it. If your a fan I can tell you the King is back in full form if not a fan? Well then, why are you wasting your time reading a review that only goes.....go read it. Go read it now!

Well worth the listen
One of the things I like the most about Stephen King's novels is the depth of awareness and understanding of the human psyche that is displayed in each book. Whether the character is a mentally unstable criminal, a retired detective, a college freshman or a teenaged boy, King brings them all to life in an utterly realistic manner. This book, in my opinion, is as reliant on its cast of characters (and the relationships that exist between them) as it is on the crimes that take place in what is essentially a detective novel. This isn't my first encounter with this book, but it has been the more enjoyable visit. Will Patton's narration is superb.
