Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein’s unpublished work...including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away—the money and the manuscripts no one but Gold ever saw—before being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris’s release thirty-five years later, he’s about to discover that teenager Pete Saubers has already found the stolen treasure—and no one but former police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance... Not since Misery has Stephen King played with the notion of a reader and murderous obsession, filled with “nail biting suspense that’s the hallmark of [his] best work” ( Publishers Weekly ). Review: Better than its predecessor? Sure. But it's also just a great, exciting, and riveting thriller - and it's got substance, too! - As much as I enjoyed Mr. Mercedes - and I did, quite a bit - I still wasn't entirely sure about the fact that King wanted to write a trilogy about detective Bill Hodges. Part of the appeal to Mr. Mercedes was the treat of seeing King take on something new for him; between the fear of being a retread and the way Mercedes's cliffhanger suggested the sequel would go, I just wasn't all that excited about the idea of two more books. But Finders Keepers allays those fears and then some, finding King moving to a very different kind of crime novel while still using all of his various strengths to tell a great story with some compelling undercurrents. Finders Keepers kicks off with a 1970's-set home invasion at the home of a reclusive author who once one heralded as the voice of a generation, and although the robbers steal plenty of money, it's evident that the unpublished manuscripts - and the way they might change the author's reputation and the fate of his most famous creation - are going to be the key to this whole story. How Hodges fits into it doesn't come until much later, by which point King has a half-dozen plates spinning, somehow keeping them all afloat without dropping a one. And when, to mix a metaphor, he starts pulling all of these plot threads together, Finders Keepers takes off like a rocket without ever slowing down again. From a plot perspective, Finders Keepers is pretty straightforward; while Mr. Mercedes was a psychological duel between two men, Finders Keepers is a more streamlined crime novel about a heist, the loot, and everyone who wants it for themselves. The fact, though, that the loot may be less financial and more intellectual is one of the things that makes Finders Keepers so engaging, especially for any book lover who might find themselves identifying more than they'd like to admit with the book's villain. It's a really richly satisfying and truly exciting read, one that sinks its hooks in quickly and then drags you along without ever really giving you a chance to catch your breath - and that's part of what makes it such a good read. Apart from that, there's King's usual knack for character work (particularly with regard to the Saubers family in general, and Pete specifically, without whom the book wouldn't work at all), his engaging prose, and that thematic richness as he explores the idea of who books and characters really belong to. Yes, the book's final pages give me pause as I start to get an idea where the third book in the trilogy will go (and the reported title seems to confirm those suspicions)...and yet, I can't deny that Bill Hodges seems to have lit a fire with King, delivering a pair of great reads. So why worry too much about the third just yet - especially when there's as great of a read as Finders Keepers to enjoy first? Review: A flawed but interesting sequel. - Finders a Keepers is the second book in a planned trilogy that began with Mr. Mercedes. And it reads as though it is a second filler as for me, this novel can best be described as a "filler." Mr. Mercedes, which won the Edgar Award for best crime fiction, won deservedly so. It is an excellent crime thriller displaying the best of Mr. King's talent. What I would have liked To have seen I n Finders Keepers is Mr. King furthering the character developments of his characters that were in Mr. Mercedes. Unfortunately, the characters of Hodges, Holly and Jerome do not appear in well over 200 pages of the book and we learn very little about them from the last 4 years that Mr. Mercedes took place. Instead, Mr. King takes one of the characters from Mr. Mercedes who was injured in the car crash incident and makes his son one of the main characters of the book. The villain this time is a book reader obsessed with an author and what he has done with his main character..... In a similar vain as Misery. As a book collector and avid reader, I did find the story of book collecting and the treatise of authors such as Hemingway, Roth, and Bellow interesting. Mr. King has a keen insight on the reclusive nature of these authors and how they write about their characters. It just was not enough for me to quickly want to turn the pages. The obsession of the villain in obtaining the stolen manuscripts he steals of the authors unpublished novels after he kills him is, in my opinion, a bit overdrawn and too long. As is the father's son( the father introduced in Mr. Mercedes) who becomes the catalyst in the lost manuscripts from the deceased author. I will not explain more as to not spoil the contents of this novel. The last 100 pages are engrossing. Pages turn quickly as the players found in Mr. Mercedes come into play in solving the case. Here, we learn a bit more about them but not enough. I wish Mr. King would have continued in the excellent crime novel format as Mr. Mercedes. With that being said, I would not dream of not reading anything Mr. King writes.... He is a brilliant author. I just hope the third novel in the trilogy goes into more detail on the three main characters in Mr. Mercedes and that he returns to a more conventional crime drama novel. This novel is a worthy read, but I would recommend reading Mr. Mercedes first. ## Images ![Finders Keepers: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1faVsTlogL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than its predecessor?

But Morris absolutely HATES the way he ended the trilogy…. With Jimmy selling out! This author has since retired and lives with his wife, writing in his journals.. But in these journals are actually sequels to this trilogy, unpublished and for HIS eyes only! What would have been books 4 and 5 of the series, along with about $20,000 cash is stolen from Mr. Rothstein in a home burglary, which turns deadly for him. Who killed him? you guessed it, Morris! So now he has his money, but that $20,000 is nothing compared to what these hidden journals are worth (to the right man willing to buy them on the black market). A friend of his, Andy, tells him that when things die down after this man’s death, then he surely can find someone to purchase these gems!! Only problem is, Morris is now going away for many years, due to convicted rape! So now he must hide his trunk full of journals (and cash ) under a near dead tree behind his old house! Hoping that it’s still there when he gets out… Enter Peter Saubers, teenager in high school, main character of the story. He moves into Morrises old house, and guess what he stumbled upon? You guessed it, The trunk! And he has actually heard of Rothstein, is a huge fan of his work, and happened to love the trilogy! But when he reads these last 2 books, he’s even more amazed ! He now realizes what literal GOLD he has on his hands! Also during all of this his parents are having financial (even some marital) problems, and so Pete starts anonymously sending random letters to his house addressed to his father, with mystery money in it, and does so for almost 2 years… until, one day…… it runs out and he sends his last envelope! Well it certainly did help his parents get back on their feet, and almost certainly saved their marriage! Which is good, but what kind of sucks, is now Morris is out of prison, and will be looking for all his things, but Peter doesn’t know this…… yet.. Now he is looking for more money (not so much for his parents now) but for his younger sister he wants to be able to help put her into this nice school, but it’s a bit expensive. So he decides to do the unthinkable- part with some of his journals- and he KNOWS what he has, could potentially be looking at a million dollars! So he goes to the shadiest Rare Books Dealer in town, Andy Halliday! (Yep, Morrises old pal from right after the heist, who most certainly knows people who can afford so buy these VERY RARE finds). Peter knows he cannot go to just anyone- most people who knows what he has is Stolen property from a murder case, and will think Peter had something to do with it! So no police! So it’s Andy, or nobody! Except Andy was wandering where these journals went after Morris went into prison, and now he knows where they are! He attempts to blackmail Pete into either lowballing him EXTREMELY, or getting the police on the phone! But before he can continue with his plan, Morris comes in to save the day- and KILL Andy. Hey, what are friends for, right? So now all Morris has to do is rid himself of Peter, but not a second before he knows where these journals are ! Will he eventually come back into possession of these last 2 Jimmy Gold Novels? Or will he die trying? Tune in next week, for the conclusion of : FINDERS KEEPERS! …he dies…. Peter burns the books while Morris stands aflame burning together with his one true love: Jimmy Gold at last ! Great storyline, a bit of a jump from the Brady Hartsfield from the First book, but Brady certainly doesn’t disappoint in the third! 9.5/10 stars for me! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15065279-finders-keepers-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15065279-finders-keepers-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
