[close] College student, Devin Jones is the first person narrator who takes us through his year of being 21, and of working at Joyland, a local amusement park, in a small town in North Carolina. We see Devin change from a love sick boy as he works as a carnie, following the Mystery of Horror House and of the murder of several young women. As soon as thunder strikes and he comes to understand who the Murderer was, he finds that his life or the lives of those he loves may be in jeopardy.

I loved reading this book and recommend it to Stephen King lovers, or the occasional murder mystery seeker. It’s a simpler read by the notoriously lengthy novel writer, so those of you who are wary of those longer books, do not be afraid.
