From Goodreads:
1978: Meet Morris Bellamy, a reader obsessed by novelist John Rothstein, the reclusive genius who created the celebrated fictional character Jimmy Gold.

Morris is livid – not just because Rothstein has stopped writing but because he has made the nonconformist Jimmy sell out for a career in advertising. Morris breaks into Rothstein’s house and empties his safe of cash. But the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel – and Morris is prepared to kill for them. Later, he goes to jail for another crime but not before he has hidden the spoils.

2009: Meet young Pete Saubers, whose father was brutally injured by a stolen Mercedes while he was queuing at a job fair. When Pete discovers a buried trunk containing the money and notebooks, he realises he has the means to rescue his family from poverty. If he can keep it secret…

2014: Morris is up for parole. And he’s hell-bent on recovering his treasure. That’s when retired detective Bill Hodges – who has set up a company called ‘Finders Keepers’ – is asked to investigate. Together with colleagues Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, Hodges must rescue Pete from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris…

Not since Misery has King written with such visceral power about a reader with such a dangerous obsession. Finders Keepers is spectacular suspense, and it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life – for good, for bad, for ever.

I found this book a very thrilling read. I have read a few Stephen King books in the past and I have enjoyed them. This is the second of the Bill Hodges trilogy and I do remember Mr Mercedes and am very glad that I read that first.

The plot of this, although predictable is also fast and dare I say fun?! I like when a book grips me and I need to find out what happens and this done just that. The second part is more interesting than the first for me but its good overall. I would like to read the last book in the trilogy.

Thank you so much for my wonderful parcel of books and chocolate - what more could you want on your birthday :)

Hmmm. Well, first of, I didn't love this one as much as Mr Mercedes. I did enjoy it and thought the story was tight, engaging and very fast-paced, but I think I missed Hodges and gang, as they only appear briefly throughout most of the book and then came late to the party at the end. I almost want to think that King had this idea for a book and decided to shoehorn into the Hodges trilogy at the last minute.

Anyway, niggle over, and onto the story. It's a perfect 'what would you do?' situation - who hasn't dreamed of finding a pile of cash and doing with it whatever you want? Of course it goes downhill really fast and Pete is soon way out of his depth ... but that's what makes the story.

Morris is an ok baddie, but doesn't truly have the shiver-factor like King's other antagonists. We all know what it's like to be over-obsessed with a book we're reading! And as for the return of Brady ... hmm, we'll have to see where King takes that.

Looking forward to reading the next one.

Thank you for the wishlist tag. I greatly enjoyed Mr Mercedes and I look forward to reading this.

I enjoyed this page turner. I do prefer Mr. Mercedes as the Bill Hodges gang play a more significant role in the first book. If I was not reading it as the second book in the trilogy, I would probably enjoy it even more. The first part was still very captivating, it was just that I kept wondering when Bill Hodges would show up. Baited and hooked by the teaser at the end, I have high hopes for the third book and can't wait to get my hands on it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This is part of Canada Secret Santa 2020. Enjoy!

Wow this is a well traveled book! I can't wait to read it - but am going to find Mr. Mercedes first. Thank you mcsar for sending it my way in a Secret Santa package for 2020. Nice way to end a year that has been rough for all of us.

This book is heading to 100 Mile House to spend some time inside the Back on the Rack Consignment store.
