Joyland by Stephen King 2013, Hard Case Crime
Website / Goodreads / Amazon 

The Good: I had expected a straight crime novel based on the publishing line, so I was overjoyed to find King had managed to sneak in some supernatural elements. Very nostalgic, in a good way. King certainly sets the scene well and I thoroughly enjoy a good carny story - which are harder to come by than you might think. The mystery is solid and I did not figure it out before the big reveal/showdown.
