Sometimes, it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in this story. Most of the bad guys seem to be really dumb, though. Or in the case of Quinn's arch enemy, Johnny Stagg, he's not as dumb but he makes up for it by being greedy and arrogant. But it's lots of fun, if you can handle a bunch of people getting killed. It will keep you guessing. ( ) As usual, when it comes to me did I start off this series by reading (or listening in this case) not from the start. Instead, I started with book five, The Redeemers. I liked so much that I went back and listen to this book three and four and now I just wait for the right moment to reading book one and two. Yeah, why read the books in order when you can have this much fun? Anyway, what I want to say is that the books can be read as stand-alone, sure reading from the beginning straight through will definitely be a lot easier if you want to keep track of all the characters that are recurring in the books. In this book must Quinn deal with a problem close to him. His sister is dating, Jamey Dixon, an ex-convict. A man convicted of killing his girlfriend, however, this said man has now found God and have started a new life. If only Quinn could believe that and if only then men that have just escaped from prison isn't thinking that Jamey Dixon may have cheated them out of the money they went to prison for. Then, there is the tornado heading towards Jericho... As with the rest of the books, I have read is the story captivating and I just love how the book is non-stop action from the beginning until the end with killers, robbers, and tornadoes all coming to Jericho. It's a great book in a great series and if you are a Longmire fan, then you need to read this series! Quinn Colson, a former Sgt with the Army Rangers, is now Sheriff of the county of his hometown, Jericho, Mississippi. His sister, Caddy, and her son are living with a pardoned convict, Jamey Dixon, who was jailed for murdering his girlfriend but has now proclaimed himself a minister. Together Caddy and Dixon are building a church and retreat out of an old barn. The book begins with three convicts escaping from a Mississippi prison to locate Dixon. They were all involved with an armored car robbery that was not solved nor was the money ever recovered. They just know that Dixon has taken it for himself. Toss in your standard political and business corruption, and good ol' boy behaviors of the South, and you have an atmospheric crime novel filled with rich characters. It's fascinating to watch this tale unfold, and as the crime comes to a head, a tornado destroys half the town and adds mayhem to the mix. This is book three in the Quinn Colson series and the first one I've read. The author provides enough back story here that you can follow the characters without having read the first two books. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
