Enjoyable novel about a Southern ex-con on the run, more or less, with a young prostitute in the wake of a criminal incident. The characters are great, almost hopelessly likable, and Pizzolatto does a great job of capturing that South-Texas, Louisiana landscape, but I think ultimately there's just not enough plot to carry this book. Feels a bit stretched between beginning and end. Prose is solid, though, and there are nice moments along the way.
