Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
3.0
2.5 stars.
Pretty boring tale of 2 not-really friends that drift apart after a girls disappearance leads to one of them becoming the town weirdo. The investigation of said disappearance would've made for a much more interesting book than the one I just read because what we end up with is... I'm not really sure what...
The blurb compares it to Harper Lee, Flannery O'Connor, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy but personally it felt a lot more like early, non-horror, Stephen King. Not surprising since the "weirdo" is obsessed with King.
