Ooooooh, I'm obsessed!! From the setting to the atmosphere, the writing, the story and the characters, everything was right up my alley. Chef's kiss.

It's a super short read/listen, but extremely entertaining. The author did a really good job with developing the characters, he made me care for them all in a short amount of time. I'll be jumping into book two soon, I'm glad it, along with book three, is already out so I don't have to wait. 

I feel like if you happen to love James Lee Burke or Eli Cranor, you'll love Chris Offutt too. This was my first book by him, but definitely not the last. I feel lucky that my library has the audiobooks, it's an even better way to experience the story.
