The Maine Man!

Advantages: A nicely laid back style to the story telling
Disadvantages: The ending may disappoint

...retiring, especially after publication of the final instalments of his "Dark Tower" series, which happened in 2004, news of the publication of "The Colorado Kid" came as something as a relief. Especially to someone like me, who has been such a fan for so long that when he addresses the foreword to his books to "Constant Reader", I feel as if he's talking to me.

What was interesting is that the book was ...
...working for "The Weekly Islander", the local newspaper of Moose-Look Island just off the coast of Maine. After telling a feature writer from the "Boston Globe" that there really are no unexplained mysteries around that part of New England, her colleagues and teachers of sorts Vince Teague and Dave Bowie proceed to tell her that Moose-Look Island does have one all of their own.

They proceed to tell Stephanie a story ... more

Not your usual Stephen King

Advantages: Good characters
Disadvantages: Book doesn't end so much as peter out

...attention because it was in the crime fiction section, which is not where I would expect to find a Stephen King novel. As the novel was so short and Stephen King usually writes much longer books, I thought it must be another Stephen King. It was, however, by the Stephen King, so intrigued, I took it home. The book is included in a series of books called Hard Case Crime and was reminiscent of books by the likes of Dashiell Hammett and other authors ...
...as Carrie, Dolores Claiborne and The Shining. This book was a relief to King's fans, who had heard rumours that his novel-writing days were over. The story Stephanie McCann is a twenty-one year old intern at a newspaper on a small island off the coast of Maine. Her colleagues, the ninety year old Vince Teague and sixty-five year old David Bowie, pleased with her progress, tell her of an unsolved mystery a few years before. A man was found dead by ...

It Was Never Like This With Miss Marple...(v1.1)

Advantages: Fine characters, good start, nicely written, cheap and well-presented book
Disadvantages: Not easy to find in the shops, disappointingly brief ending

Generally speaking, the arrival of a new Stephen King novel is a rather big event given that he is one of the most popular and well-recognized authors in the world. It came as something of a surprise then when The Colorado Kid (published in October 2005) slipped in almost completely under the radar. Indeed, its release has proven so low-key that many King fans are still unaware of its existence. The Colorado Kid (TCK) is King's attempt at something ...
...was written especially to spearhead the 'Hard Case Crime' series of pocket-sized paperback thrillers that have managed to attract quite a following, in America at least. Anyhow, it is significantly shorter than King's average yarn at a lean 178 pages, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on which way you look at it. The story is loosely told from the perspective of Stephanie McCann; a 22 year-old from Ohio who has gone to stay on Moose-Lookit ...

It is no mystery how I read this so quick!

Advantages: Stripped back mystery with a nice interplay between characters. Cheap price.
Disadvantages: Disappointing conclusion, poor quality paper despite its price.

...newspaper on an island of the coast of Maine. Her mentors apparent, Vince Teague and David Bowie see the promise in the young reporter and decide to tell her their most mysterious and treasured story. This is one they vow will never be seen in print, the death of "The Colorado Kid". "The Colorado Kid" is Stephen King's contribution to the "Hard Crime" series. According to the glowing praise inside the cover the series has been single-handedly responsible ...
...by literary critics these are the shelf fillers of airports, charity shops and second hand bookshops . You know the ones, the badly illustrated, cheap novels with garish covers and poor quality paper. Needless to say as a writer who is often sneered at by critics it is not at all surprising to see him making a contribution to this market. King's foray into the mystery/crime market is a stripped back tale in which it is less about the plot and more ...
