Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto
5.0
This book stuck with me for weeks after I read it. The writing style was very simple (in a good way) but the story itself had so many twists and turns. The firs-person narrative was so incredibly human but no-nonsense. The characters were all so real, I felt like I knew them while I was reading. The simple prose is beautiful.
I will warn you, the book is very graphic. Like I said, the book (and the violence described) sticks with you for a long time after you finish reading.
If you watched True Detective you'll love this novel. It's very different from the show though. The only place I really saw similarities was in the darkness and the minute character details. Regardless....you should definitely read it.
