The Innocents by Ace Atkins

5.0

I've said this before about the Colson books, but for my money, this series is the best thing going in crime fiction right now. Every book is different, yet rooted in the same area with the characters that bring Mississippi to life. The crimes in this book veer to a much darker place than in some of the earlier books and the plot masterfully unravels the truth. The ending finds Colson once again at a crossroads in his own life and the best part is that we have no idea what it will be like the next time we see him.
