The first part of the book, has no real sort of suspense or horrific elements to it. Here we are experiencing the story through three characters, and it's not until the second part of the book do we meet the trio from the first. I'm a sucker for a good crime thriller so I picked up Mr Mercedes and loved every bit of it.įinders Keepers, has a very different structure to the first book. I had never read a Stephen King book before Mr Mercedes as I didn't have a massive interest in fantasy fiction. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, forever.

Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. 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 thirty-five years. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. 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 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. The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Wake up, genius.' So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader.
