Finders Keepers<\/em> by Stephen King is hot, hot, hot! It’s at the top of the New York Times Best Sellers list and on our shelf (Collection: Browsing Collection, Books; Call Number: PS3561.I483 F56 2015b) ready to be checked out. This suspense\/horror novel is a sequel to Mr. Mercedes<\/em>, which is checked our from here, but you can borrow using UW Request<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Finders Keepers<\/em> is a novel about literature. Many years ago a reclusive author (think J.D. Salinger) who created a famous, iconic character in his work, but hadn’t written about him in decades, is attacked by a rabid fan. Among the belongings stolen are dozens of notebooks containing an unpublished novel or two. Fast forward to the more recent past when a child discovers the notebooks, which were buried by the thief, who is about to be released from prison. It’s pure King. <\/p>\n

This novel is likely too creepy for me, the genre gives me nightmares, but if you’re one of the millions of King fans, or a suspense aficionado ready to try something new, this one’s for you. Especially good for fans of books like Misery<\/em> according to Elizabeth Masterson in the April 15, 2015 issue of Library Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Reading Mr. Mercedes<\/em> first is not necessary, but would prepare you for the other two volumes of the trilogy. I recommend reading this one on a bright sunny summer day.<\/p>\n
