Recognized for its sharp humor, atmospheric mystery, and distinctive desert noir storytelling.
Welcome to Radio Springs
Stranded in Radio Springs, Arizona's quirkiest desert town, Jane turns her lens toward the mystery that's suddenly become personal. With help from the town's sharp-tongued librarian Ramona Galvin and a cast of eccentrics who've read more crime novels than they've solved crimes, Jane pieces together a trail that winds from the library stacks to the local diner and all the way out to the old canyon mines.
Everyone in Radio Springs has a story - and some will do anything to keep theirs buried.
The soda fizzes. The desert hums. And after dark, the past has a way of speaking through the static.
Atomic Sunset is a witty, small-town mystery filled with humor, heart, and a dash of desert noir. Perfect for readers who enjoy quirky fiction, bookish sleuths, offbeat conspiracies, and smart, laugh-out-loud storytelling.
5 Stars - Readers' Favorite
J.G. Macdonald excels at writing quirky but interesting characters that entertain and intrigue... I recommend Atomic Sunset to anyone who enjoys small-town mysteries, stories dealing with conspiracy theories, and offbeat humor.
