Desert Heat and Sharp Turns
Posted by BackPack Books on
This is an adult mystery book! (writing as J.G.Macdonald)
Sometimes the best reviews are the ones that surprise you.
One recent reader wrote:
"Radio Springs is the kind of book that sneaks up on you—quirky, smart, and full of desert heat and sharp turns. At first, it feels like a cozy mystery with a touch of road trip charm, but it quickly veers into something far more bizarre and addictive."
And honestly? I couldn’t ask for a better summary. Atomic Sunset (yes, that’s the real title) started as a story about a woman stranded in a dusty town off Route 66… and then the coyote showed up. And the corpse. And the soda that might be watching you.
It was never going to stay cozy for long.
If you’ve ever wanted a mystery that doesn’t play by the rules, with conspiracies, donkeys, and a splash of vintage danger—welcome to Radio Springs.
