The Revelators by Ace Atkins
5.0
This book made me laugh, cry, and keep on reading. The issues of immigration were front and center, and it did a good job of showing the heartaches of immigrants from south of the border, and some of the politics of those causing many of the heartaches. There were some really good people, and really bad ones. And then, as usual, many who were both, or just caught in the middle.
Our favorite villain, Fannie Hathcock, really showed her true colors in this book. In earlier books, she seemed to be somewhat of a victim of her upbringing, and mistreatment by evil men, and I would sometimes be happy when she won - kind of like JR in the TV show Dallas if you watched that. He was the bad guy we loved to hate. But she became more and more evil, it seems, and in this book she really became hateful. But aside from her powerful friends, she had some powerful enemies, including my favorite, Lillie Virgil, a US Marshall who loves to tangle with the bad guys. I was really happy to see her in this one. And Quinn's sister, Caddie Colson, proved to be a formidable player in this story too.
Near the end of this book, it seemed like it was going to be the last episode of a great series. But then, right at the very end something happened to give hope to us fans, so I suspect there will be more coming. I sure hope so.
