Our view
“Finders Keepers” is King in plain crime mode: a murdered recluse of a writer, his missing notebooks and a killer freed after 35 years. As the middle volume of the Bill Hodges trilogy it leans on affection for Bill, Holly and Jerome, so it works best straight after “Mr. Mercedes”. Dark and tense, it has more of the detective story than of the horror novel.
