Editorial 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.

Publisher's 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.

Pretty good

Not as enjoyable as Mr Mercedes but a decent addition to the trilogy. I’m hoping the next is better with Brady in the picture. Will Patton was an outstanding narrator.

Dragged story but good thriller

Side story isn't that interesting. Draggy at times. However, it's a good thriller and the audio is really enjoyable.

Kind of a slow start but...

once you get intot it you understand why, it was necessary to set the scene, to blend the stories together... Definitely a must read/listen if you've had the pleasure already of Mr Mercedes.

The narrating is perfection

As with the first book of the trilogy, Will Payton’s narrating is UNREAL. There are separate characters with different tonal undercurrents and intonations that sincerely bring them to life in a way that does King’s imaginings complete justice. I must say that in comparison to the first of the Bill Hodges trilogy, Finders Keepers doesn’t quite have the same impact. That said, I was with Will the entire way and was always reluctant to turn it off or pause. I had a wonderful time and am seconds away from starting the third!
