Über diesen Titel

2016 Audie Award Finalist for Best Male Narrator

A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far - a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.

"Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after 35 years.

Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, forever.

Kritikerstimmen

"Narrator Will Patton takes the best Stephen King novel in years and turns it into an audio masterpiece.... Listeners may double check to see how many narrators are performing this work. But it's just Patton, and he's more than enough." (AudioFile)

This is definitely a keeper. Great story, as we know and love from King. The mystery - instead of the horror - is what made me love the first book and he's not disappointed with the second. Good, good stuff.

Great read!

I hate having to write reviews. The book was yet another excellently written work by my literature hero. The way Stephan King can transport into his world is utterly amazing.

It was an awesome ride

I enjoyed this book, though it took me a bit to get into it. I hadn't expected such a long backstory, though all of it turned out to be important. Bill Hodges took a bit of a backseat to the crazy fan setting out to at least rob, or at most kill his favorite author - now, where have King's readers heard that before? - and a boy finding something that's not really his to keep. The final third of the book brought it all together in the end. Am looking forward to the last part of the trilogy.

great for crime fans who enjoy intese characters

The second instalment was even better than the first. I am looking forward to what comes next.

Fantastic

Stephen King did not disappoint! Love the Hodges series. The narrator has a voice that I had to get used to but fitting for the genre.

Great book

The story picks up some time after Mr Mercedes, and even though it is a bit slow in the beginning, it picks up speed later. Hodges and Holly are just supporting characters here, the book spends more time with other characters. Overall enjoyable, but maybe not as enticing as the first one.

Nice sequel to Mr. Mercedes

It is a great story, no doubt and Stephen King is a great story teller and he is probably unable to write a really bad story, but regardless of that, some parts of the book rubbed me the wrong way.
1. A lot of authors are tempted to talk about writing and the complex relationship between readers and authors. There is a lot of it in this book and I am not sure, whether this is something I want to read about lengthily.
2. John Rothstein, a fictitious author and murder victim is a central figure in this story. I cannot help it, but somehow Stephen King seems to refer to Salinger and his "The Catcher in the Rye", when he talks about John Rothstein and his Jimmy Gold books, but I don't get the message (if there is one).
3. Finders Keepers is a kind of sequel to "Mercedes" and we meet again with Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson. Unfortunately these characters appear very static in this story, no development, no conflicts, all warm coziness. The appearance of these 3 feels somehow wrong anyway. It is not their story and they don't belong there.
4. Why bring Brady Harstfeld, the heartless villain of "Mercedes" into this story? There is no real context and this short appearance at the end of the book with its psychic twist is out of place.

The book consists of 3 main parts:
Part 1: John Rothstein, the famous author of the Jimmy Gold Trilogy, who did not write another book in decades, gets murdered and robbed by Morris Bellamy and his friends. Morris is obsessed with the Jimmy Gold novels and does not forgive the author the ending of the series. He hides the booty, 20000 US$ and hundred plus notebooks of unpublished writings of Rothstein.
Part 2: Pete Saubers, a young boy finds the treasure and uses the money to help his family through the recession of 2008/2009. Miraculously he lives in the same house, where Morris grew up, even more astonishing, he is a Jimmy Gold fan as well. The real trouble starts for Pete, when he tries to sell the notebooks to pay for his sister's college.
Part 3: Enter Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson to save poor Pete.

Of course, the story telling is first class and for the most part the book is a real page turner. Pete's character, his relationship to his sister and parents is drawn with such detail and accuracy, it is a real pleasure to read, His anguish is touchable and you feel the tension physically. It is a good book after all.

Obsessive Readers and Multiple Murder

Dieser 2. Teil der Trilogie führt die Brillianz des 1. Teils nahtlos fort in einer ganz eigenen atemberaubend spannenden Geschichte , in der die liebenswerten und skurrilen Ermittlerfiguren aus Mr Mercedes wieder auftauchen. Überhaupt sind die Figuren unheimlich gut beschrieben, lebensnah, nachvollziehbar. Die Twists sibd überraschend und immer wieder überrascht mich King, wie Details aus frühen Kapiteln später an Bedeutung gewinnen. Der Roman beginnt langsam und nimmt zum Ende unglaublich an Fahrt auf. Diese Erzählweise wirkt fast cineastisch. Sogar daa Ende ist super. der 3. Teil ist ein Muss.
Will Patton erscheint mir der perfekte Sprecher für Kings Romane. Unbedingte Empfehlung.

Absolut gleichwertiger 2. Teil der Trilogie
