| this book captures the feel of early Stephen King novels in the best possible way. |

Missing From the Village by Justin Ling |
unwinds the case of a serial killer that everyone with power ignored. |

 |
Red X by David Demchuk |
a truly scary book that pairs well with the Missing From the Village. |

Sandy Hook by Elizabeth Williamson |

Scoundrel by Sarah Weinman |
another exemplary piece of crime writing from Weinman. |
