Finders Keepers

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Will Patton

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

Praise for Mr Mercedes:

"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)

Another exciting read

Great performance and a good King novel. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one..

Stephen King at his BEST

This is better than Mr Mercedes. I would have liked a different ending, but the book is fabulous!

A second chance

I read this book years ago and thought it was just ok. This was before I got into King’s older works and really loved them - The Dark Tower series being amongst my favorites. I decided to give this book another shot after reading its prequel- Mr Mercedes - and it’s actually quite good. It helped to get to know Hodges, Jerome and Holly in Mr Mercedes before doing the re-read though as it made it more exciting to get to their further character development in Finders Keepers. Holly remains one of my favourites. I also like the way King, once again, places children and teenagers centre stage as the heroes and heroines of his books. He does this with zero condescension - he seems to truly believe in their abilities to conquer evil.

A delight!

Stephen King is at his best when writing non horror stories; this one does not disappoint

Good story

Not a huge fan of the narrator. his Holly voice is quite annoying. Good book though.

Good narration

All the characters were live...excellent narration.
Good book..the villain is not as dark as Mr.Mercedes...and didn't like the part where the good guys don't even get scratched by the law for their crimes

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!

WaAr

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.

awsome

this is very well narrated. .....once you start you will not be able to stop till it ends.

Loved it!

Loved it! Great as always from Mr King. Interesting installment to the Bill Hodges Trilogy
