SthrnGal on January 31, 2024 6:48 pm I just finished season 1 of True Detective. So good! I’d recommend James Lee Burke’s [Dave Robicheaux series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/51948-dave-robicheaux). Steig Larson’s [Millennium series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/44598-millennium). [The Chestnut Man](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41154336-the-chestnut-man?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_12) [Aloysius Pendergast Series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/40552-aloysius-pendergast)
