Finders Keepers

Executive Summary: Another solid thriller story from Mr. King, where once again the characters shine.Audio book: Will Patton is a perfect fit for this series. He does a bit of voices for some of the characters, but really it's just his normal reading voice that is just the right tone.Full ReviewDespite a bit of a slow start, I think I liked this one slightly better than [b:Mr. Mercedes 18775247 Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) Stephen King https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403347795s/18775247.jpg 26680281]. It's hard to put my finger on why. Morris Bellamy isn't nearly as terrifying as Brady Hartsfield, but he's still a fascinating character. I really enjoyed Pete Sauberg as well.It might be the premise of this that I think is better. It all centers around reading, and obsession with fictional worlds/characters. That is something I can understand to a lot more than a crazy person with mommy issues.The first half or so focuses largely on the new characters. For me, things really stepped up once we get back to Bill, Holly, and Jerome. I especially love Holly. She might be one of my favorite characters than Mr. King has written.Much like its predecessor, this book is certainly more thriller or mystery than Horror. Often times people see [a:Stephen King 3389 Stephen King https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1362814142p2/3389.jpg]'s name on a book and assume horror.The book geek in me really wants to read the Jimmy Gold novels. Or at least the plot summaries. We get dribs and drabs of it as the book unfolds, but not a ton. They sound more literary than my usual fare, but it would be interesting to see Mr. King do a more in depth write-up on the series within the series.Overall, another solid novel from King that makes for great summer reading, and I'm already looking forward to the final novel in the trilogy.
