Editor reviews

Finders Keepers is the latest release from award-winning international best-seller and master of suspense, Stephen King. Perfectly narrated by Audie Award nominee Will Patton, this is a crime thriller audiobook not to be missed. A famous writer was violently robbed of his secret notebooks and his fortune in 1978. 30 years later a son unwittingly discovers the valuable notebooks amongst his dead father’s belongings. In 2013 the thief is out of jail and ready to steal them back. Following the markings of a classic mystery, this is packed with thrilling anticipation throughout. Available now from Audible.

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.

"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)

Another awesome king Read

I really enjoyed how this book takes on from Mr Mercedes and further expands the story and the effects of the other people around the first book. Enjoyable and clear narrator cant wait for the third instalment!!

The 2nd book in the trilogy

Where does Finders Keepers rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's up there with some of the best. I actually physically read the first book in the trilogy 'Mr. Mercedes' but I think I enjoyed the 2nd book more because I listened to it as an audiobook. Different characters in this one but still an excellent story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Finders Keepers?

There are lots of memorable moments but I like the way Mr King pulls all the threads together slowly, We see a murder take place at the beginning of the novel and yet it takes thirty years to be solved.

Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I've only heard Will Patton read Stephen King and so far I have no complaints, he is excellent at bringing a story to life in a way that isn't possible whilst reading.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Too long to do that but still an excellent read.

Any additional comments?

Gripping, fast-paced and an excellent way to spend your time.

Great standalone novel

I've listened to this before embarking on the first in the (intended) Mercedes trilogy. No regrets at doing this; finders keepers is a great standalone novel.

King at his best: this, a page turner. Narration brilliant too.

Awesome

Excellent book. Superbly written and read. Yet again Stephen King had me enthralled, shivering and gave me a lump in my throat at different times. The first two books in this series are amongst his best works and I am eager to get to the third :)

Great sequel

Great sequel to last year's Mr Mercedes. Don't necessarily have to listen to Mr Mercedes to appreciate it. My 56 year old dad is now a Stephen King fan after giving this book a try. Great narration from Patton and can't wait for the next one!
