A year later I'm excited to start the second installment. Mr. Mercedes was such an unbelievable read! Hopefully I enjoy Finders Keepers just as much. Here is a synopsis of the novel:
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 thirty-five years.
I cannot wait to see the main characters Hodges, Jerome, and Holly back in action once again. June cannot come fast enough.
Since it's early I suggest all of you readers pick up a copy of Mr. Mercedes if you haven't. You will not be disappointed, and you will be ready for this gem!
