King tackles the genre with a clever tale about a nefarious killer at a North Carolina amusement park in this detective mystery novel. After a carny grows privy to the death that shrouds the once pleasant location, it is up to him to help crack the case and catch a killer. King isn't a detective mystery novelist by trade, but this is an impeccable attempt at it. While it isn't necessarily the best in comparison to his other novels, it does highlight the author's capability to shift from genre to genre to capture the horrors that exist in every aspect of life.
