Read from January 26 to 31, 2012

Woodrell's heroes are flawed but try to make the best bad decisions they can in the circumstances. His novels set in the Ozarks are sometimes referred to as "country noir" - this trilogy about the Shade family could be called "swamp noir". Woodrell brings the neighbourhoods and bayou country of St Bruno, Louisiana to life. The crooks aren't all on the streets either - some are in the city government and the police.
