Joyland by Stephen King, 283 pages

Stephen King's latest book is one of the best he's written in a long time. Based in a carnival/amusement park, it has Devin Jones trying to put his broken heart back together. Legends of a murdered girl's ghost haunting a ride has Devin investigating, and finding himself in a dangerous mystery that could cost him his life.
This book was outstanding, succinct as so many of King's books aren't, and the writing was just great. The mystery combined with the romance, overlaid with just a light touch of the supernatural was perfect. I also like the fact that it's only published as an actual book to fit the crime noir, pulp classic feel.
