eor10. Stephen King "Umney's Last Case"
This little book had been sitting around on our bookshelves for years. It was one of those counter by the cash register impulse purchases, I believe at a bookstore in Brookline. It is a really short read, less than 100 pages in small format, so one day or maybe one sitting for a fast reader. The story is fun, starting out as noir and going from there. King does a good job of playing in the noir tropes. I haven't read a lot of King (The Stand, Tommyknockers, Carrie), but so far this is my favorite. If you want something quick and not too serious, it's a fun read.
