A review by mackenzierm
Finders Keepers by Stephen King

4.0

Morris Bellamy is livid that his favorite author, John Rothstein, hasn’t published a book for decades and because his favorite character, Jimmy Gold, has become a sellout for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash and his notebooks containing at least one more novel. Morris hides the money and notebooks before he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, Pete Saubers finds the treasure and now Pete and his family need to be rescued by Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson from a deranged Morris who has been released from prison after a thirty-five-year sentence.

FINDERS KEEPERS is a well-written and intriguing novel that is told in three POVs: Pete’s, Bill Hodges’, and Morris’. I enjoyed returning to the mind of Bill Hodges after reading his first book Mr. Mercedes and was eager to see how he would continue to grow alongside his newfound allies, Holly and Jerome. I can definitely say that it was fun to see them working together again! 

The pacing of this story is steady with a series of intriguing, and surprising, twists. The ending had me listening with bated breath, eager to learn how it all would unfold. I can’t wait to pick up the final installment of the Bill Hodges trilogy next!
