    Default Need help finding a book with recommendation from Mr. King

    Hi, apologies if this is the wrong section, but I saw a book with a glowing recommendation from Stephen King in the bookstore, didn't pick it up at the time, and when I went back it was gone ! I've scoured online looking for it, but because I can't remember the title or Author I cannot for the life of me find it!

    It was in the Crime, Thriller and Horror section, and had sort of a light blue dirty green front cover with a road sign on it (I'm in the UK, the cover is possibly different elsewhere) and it had quote from Stephen King (I think it may have been on the front, as I think that's what attracted me to it, but it could have been on the back). I can't remember much of the blurb, but I think it started along the lines of a child or two went missing in Missouri.

    I think it was a fairly recent release, as it was in their 3 for 2 offer. Is there a list somewhere of books Stephen has read and provided quotes for, or does anyone know what this could be?

    Sorry, but we don't keep track of the books Steve has given blurbs for and that book isn't ringing any bells for me. Anyone else?

    just a wild guess from the cover description, but maybe The Road?

    Was it The Church of Dead Girls by Stephen Dobyns? That's about missing girls, fits the crime/thriller genre, and featured a recommendation from SK on the cover. Even if it's not the book you saw, you really should read it because it was excellent!

    Thanks everyone for your help! It was none of those listed, however, someone on another forum managed to find the book! If anyone is interested it is called Sharp Objects by Gillien Flynn. Thanks for everyones help ^_^.

    You can see the quote on the cover:
