About this listen

After years of war, Army Ranger Quinn Colson returns home to the rugged, rough hill country of northeast Mississippi to find his native Tibbehah County plagued by corruption, decay, meth runners, and violence. His uncle, the longtime county sheriff, is dead. A suicide, he’s told, but others—like tomboy Deputy Lillie Virgil—whisper murder.

In the days that follow, it’s up to Colson to discover the truth, not only about his uncle but about his family, his friends, his town, and himself. And once it’s discovered, there’s no turning back for this real hero of the Deep South.

A good story set in the poorer part of the South of the USA. Not brilliant but well worth a listen.

If you like James Lee Burke, you will love this book as well. Well portrayed and deep characters, in a realistic setting. Great first book in the series. I look forward to the next.

Right up my creek!

This was quite entertaining but he is no Jack Reacher. He stumbles upon some strange incidents in his home town and with the insight equal to that of a blancmange decides that the criminal is one man but definitely not his uncle.

A fair yarn

I thought it was a good story, I would have liked more action set pieces in the story but it's ok.
