Rocky Mountain Why?

The Colorado Kid by Stephen King

November 20, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

When you're as big a name as Stephen King, they really will just let you publish anything. The Colorado Kid is purportedly a mystery novel, but it determinedly disavows the conventions of the genre. What it actually is, is a tease. The novel takes the format of a conversation between two old … [Read more]

If you thought Dan Brown was bad…

The Witch of Babylon by DJ McIntosh

November 20, 2022 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

The back cover blurb for this book positions it as a sort of ‘DaVinci’s Code set in ancient Mesopotamia!’: mysterious and powerful ancient artifacts, a deadly conspiracy to keep these artifacts secreted, and an antiques dealer protagonist who is out to solve the mystery. John Madison is the … [Read more]

Diamonds at the Lost and Found by Sarah Aspinall

November 20, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I bought a lot of memoirs on my vacation this summer and realized when I got home how many are about fraught mother-daughter relationships. I guess I'm working through something, or else I just like reading about dramatic psychological family structures. Either way, Diamonds at the Lost and Found … [Read more]
