As a tie-in with the superbly weird TV show Twin Peaks, this book goes over the life of Agent Cooper from his youth when he receives his first tape recorder for Christmas until he is called to Twin Peaks to investigate a murder. I love this character and feel like he was criminally underused in the prequel film Fire Walk With Me, so I fully enjoyed this. It’s so easy to hear the whole thing in Kyle MacLachlan’s voice (even the parts featuring young Dale). Like other Twin Peaks tie-in books, you really need to have watched the original series before reading this. It was published a year before Fire Walk With Me came out, which accounts for the differences in Theresa Banks’ murder investigation between the book and the movie. It’s a fun little book and if you’re a Twin Peaks die-hard, it’s well worth seeking out.
