Gary's Reviews > The Colorado Kid

I have recently started reading more Stephen Kings books and prefer the non horrors so was advised to try 'The Colorado Kid'. I really enjoy the writing of Stephen King and he appears to be able to redefine the genre boundaries.
The story surrounds a case of an unidentified man found on a tiny island off the coast of Maine. There are no obvious pointers to his death or identity and more than a year later he is eventually identified but everything else remains unanswered. The story is told by two members of the island newspaper staff, editor Dave Bowie and founder Vince Teague relate the story to young intern Stephanie McCann and relate their fascination with the case and twenty-five years later test her investigative skills.
I really enjoyed the way it was written, excellent characters and so different from the novels I have read recently. My only possible issue is that I was not totally satisfied with the ending but loved it all the same.
