An Best Book of June 2015: For those of you who spent part of last summer being thrilled by Stephen King’s Mr. The crimes will linger in your mind, but what might linger most is when King explores his obsessions with, well, obsessions: obsession with reading, obsession with writers, even the need to get revenge. As a character in Finders Keepers puts it, “a good novelist does not create events, he watches them happen then writes down what he sees. Mercedes, this worthy sequel arrives just in time for summer 2015. That's why we love you, Stephen King.--Chris Schluep. The book is well-plotted, but there remains an organic feel to this series, like the characters are writing themselves to some extent. The story begins with a murder (of an author) and a robbery (of

"Catchy premise and suspenseful ending, but longish plot to get there - sequel rather tangential" according to Jerry Bull. We have mixed feelings about the aptly titled “Finders Keepers”, a sequel of sorts to King’s earlier “Mr. Mercedes” novel. This one opens with a crazed burglar, William Morris, robbing famous author John Rothstein, who has been silent for a couple of decades, of not just cash but dozens of moleskin notebooks containing two unpublished novels and other writings – and then kills him because he d.
